PREFACE. 



The commencement of the Protestant Mission to China, was 
closely connected with a scheme for translating the Scriptures 
into the native language; a work to which the pioneers de- 
voted much time and attention. Their successors in like 
manner, have kept this before them as ah object of first im- 
portance; and the continuous application thus bestowed, 
from the beginning, on this branch of tlie enterprise, has 
been ])roductive of results gratifying to every friend of the 
cause. The incipient labours of Morrison, Marshman and 
Milne, brought to completion the two first entire translations 
of the Bible, wliich appear to have issued from the press 
simultaneously about the year 1822. 

No great period was allowed to elapse till this was follow- 
ed up by revision and amendment, a work which liad been 
contemplated by the first translators, even before their own 
productions had been given to the public. The combined 
eflforts of Drs. Medhurst, Gutzlaff and Bridgman, in concert 
with the son of Dr. Morrison, led to the respective versions 
of the two first-named missionaries. 

Subsequent to this, the new translation of the New Tes- 
tament by the Committee of Delegates, issued in 1850, and 
the Old Testament by the members of the London Mission, 
Bome two or three years later, were followed up by a revision 
of the whole, at the hands of Dr. Bridgman and Mr. Cul- , 
bertson. 

Another version of the New Testament had been carried 
on at the same time, by the Bev. J. Goddard. tlie agent of 
the Baptist churches in America; and his work has been for 
the most part used by the members of that denomination, 

A complete translation of the New Testament into the 
Mandarin dialect, chiefly by Dr. Medhurst, has been widely 
circulated; and a second translation by the resident mission- 
aries at Peking is well on io completion. 

Translations of the wliole New Testament have been made 
into the local dialects of Ningpo and Fuhchow, and detacliod 
])ortions of the Old and New Testaments have appeared in 
the Shanghae, Canton, Hakka, Aiuoy and Kin-hwa dialects. 



11 PREFACE. 

A number of valuable contributions have been made in the 
department of exegesis, but a complete commentary is still 
a desideratum. 

In othf^r departments the press has been largely employed 
disseminating instruction, both religious and secular; and 
probably few are aware of the number of works large and 
«mall, 'that have been issued from first to last. The lack of 
an established channel for communicating information on 
this point, has proved a disadvantage to some; who for want 
of knowing what had been already done, have occasionally 
•devoted time and energy to an unconscious repetition of pre- 
vious labours. In order to avoid this, the wish has been 
frequently expressed, that some source of information might 
be made accessible to all; much valuable time might thus 
be saved, and many of the productions of the past made 
available to present workers. 

Such is the object of the present publication, in which the 
compiler has been readily assisted by most of the mission- 
aries in the field. Although there must of necessity be some 
omissions, yet it is believed that they are inconsiderable, and 
that the present list contains nearly all that has been pub- 
lished, from the commencement down to the present time. 
It has been suggested that it may be serviceable to Mission- 
ary and Tract Societies also, in placing before them a sum- 
mary of past labours, and enabling them to make selections 
for future publication. 

By referring to the Classified Index, one may see at a 
glance what has been done in the various branches, and the 
several dialects, the figures pointing him to fuller informa- 
tion. In the majority of cases, no author's name is given on 
the book or tract, and publications are frequently met with, 
to the origin of which the possessor can find no clue. On 
turning to the Chinese alphabetical Index, he will find the 
title without difficulty, and at the page indicated, will meet 
with a statement of such particulars as have been thought 
necessary for the identification of the work, with sometimes 
an epitomized history of its production. Many of the early 
missionaries used epithets instead of their proper names on 
their works. A number of these have been pointed out, and 
the dates which they indicate. 

As a tribute of respect to the pioneers in this service, some 
few particulars collected from previous publications, have 
been added to the names of those who arrived within the first 
forty years from the commencement. 

It will be observed that the great majority of the works 
aim at the simple literary style of composition as their mo- 
del ; being thus available for any part of this extensive em-

pire, and even for some of the neighbouring nations. But as 
tins style dilFers more or less from the various spoken dia- 
lects, many missionaries have conceived the idea of transfer- 
ring to paper, the pure colloquial of given districts. 

So far as the Mandarin is concerned, there are precedents 
in the language, and an established usage of the written 
character. 

. Other dialects have not this advantage, and much ingen- 
uity has been expended in devising the most appropriate me- 
thods for reducing them to writing. The Chinese character 
has naturally presented itself, and has been employed to 
some extent; but tiiere are so many words in particular dia- 
lects^ that are unrepresented by written characters; and so 
many others in which the colloquial sounds differ so widely 
from the reading pronunciation, as to render them altogether 
inapplicable; that it has been found necessary to divert from 
their ordinary application such a large number of the signs 
employed, as in some cases to increase the evil it was propos- 
ed to obviate. This remark applies of course with varying 
force to various dialects. 

The difficulty here alluded to, early suggested the general 
medium of European nations, as most suitable for the trans- 
fer of native soimds, and divers combinations of the Roman 
character have been successfully employed to this end. Not 
a few works have been printed in the Ningpo, Shanghae, 
Amoy, Hakka and Kin-hwa dialects. It must be admitted 
that there is much that is arbitrary, in thus diverting the 
Boman qharacter to represent the Chinese sounds, and va- 
rious artifices have been resorted to, to meet the require- 
ments of the case. The difficulty of harmonizing the views 
of all concerned however, added to the acknowledged imper- 
fection of the western alphabet for the purpose, have sug- 
gested other devices for attaining the object. 

Foremost among these stands the system invented by Mr. 
Orawlbrd, and used to a considerable extent by the Baptist 
missionaries in Shanghae. This possesses the advantage of 
each character representing a single sound withouf. ambigui- 
ty, and a consistent uniformity between the corresponding 
miembers of the several phonetic groups, while the compon- 
ent strokes are peculiarly adapted to the capabilities of the 
Chinese pencil. 

Other phonetic systems have been proposed, but we have 
not heard of their practical application. 

It is no part of our plan here, to discuss the relative mer- 
its of the literary and colloquial styles, assuming that each 
is adapted to a useful end. Much thought has been bestow- 
ed upon the subject, by men earnest in the work, devoted to 



IV PREFAOIL 

the glory of God, and ardently desirous of the salvation of 
their fellow creatures. We look with respect on anything 
emanating from such motives; and while mere crotchets are 
not to be tolerated, we repudiate that severe standard of 
judgment, by which nothing beyond our own peculiar views 
can be countenanced. As there are diversities of gifts and 
varieties of talent, so the many plans of operation suggested 
by a living faith, may all be working together towards the 
one great end we have in view; and we are ready to say Grod 
speed ! to every brother who consecrates his time and ener- 
gies to the great cause of humanity. 

Apart from the spread of divine truth, and the general 
influence always attending the progress of Christianity, an 
art of acknowledged potency in the onward course of civiliz- 
ation, has received its practical development under the Pro- 
testant mission. In the early part of last century, a set of 
Chinese types to the extent of more than a hundred thou- 
sand were cut in wood at Paris, but of such huge dimensions 
as to be of little service in ordinary press work; and the prac- 
ticability of ever reducing Chinese to the limits of the found- 
er, was at that time generally disbelieved. Specimens of 
type were executed by private firms in England from time to 
time, and it is nearly half a century since Mr, Watts com- 
pleted a font, very commendable for neatness and accuracy. 
But the extraordinary expense attendino^ such enterprises 
held out little hope of moveable type being applied to com- 
mon Chinese printing. The zeal and devotedness of Mr. Dyer 
of the London Mission, however, triumphed over the initial 
difficulties. By the combination of native labour with Eu- 
ropean art, he succeeded in bringing out a font of unsurpass- 
ed elegance, and at quite a practicable cost. More recently 
electric science has been applied to the perfection of the art 
by Mr. Gamble, and Chinese printing by moveable type is 
now as much a matter of course as any European language. 

Of the three hundred and thirty eight missionaries named 
in the list, the aggregate term of service in China has been 
2511 years, giving an average of nearly seven and a half 
years to each. Or if we subtract from this, 124 mission- 
aries now in the- field, we have a surplus of 214 who h^ve 
completed their term, to an aggregate of 1559 years, making 
an average of about a quarter of a year less to each, than the 
former number. These numbers include the time that mis- 
sionaries have been absent on visits to their native lands or 
elsewhere, generally on account of health. 

The following figures give a comparative view of the num- 
bers who liave served for terms of various length.

OF 

PROTESTANT MISSIONARIES 

TO 

THE CHINESE. 



I.^ JOSHUA MARSHM AN, althougli not cactually enga- 
ged in missionary work among the Chinese, yet devoted so 
much of his time and great talents, to collateral objects in 
direct furtherance of that work, that he may fairly claim a 
place in a catalogue of such agents; and his labours being first 
in point of time, entitle him to be placed at the head of the 
list. His family traced its descent from an officer in the par- 
liamentary army of England, who retired into private life in 
Wiltshire, after Charles II. disbanded that body, in 1660. John 
Marshman, the father of the missionary was a weaver, and 
married Mary Couzener, a descendant of one of the French 
refugees who obtained shelter in England on the revocation 
of the Edict of Nantes. Their son Joshua was born at West- 
bury Leigh, in Wiltshire, on April 20, 1768. At the age of 
seven, he was sent to the village school, kept by one Cogge- 
shaU, where he learned reading, an attainment which he after- 
wards exercised to an extraordinary extent, having read more 
than a hundred volumes by twelve years of age, and more 
than five hundred it is said, before he had reached eighteen. 
In youth he worked at his father's trade, but at the age of 
fifteen, he was invited to London by a bookseller, who took him 
into his employment. His father recalled him however after 
a few months, to his native village, where he was again enga- 
ged at the loom. In 1791, he was married to Hannah Shep- 
herd, the granddaughter of Rev. John Clark, for sixty years 
pastor of the Baptist church at Crockerton in Wiltshire. In 
1794, he removed to Bristol, was baptized aTiA.\>c,e-WLrv.^ ^ \^^\si.-

ber of the church at Broadmead, Bristol. There he entered 
the academv, and devoted five years to the study of the classics, 
together with Hebrew and Syriac. On May 3, 1799, he was 
set apart to the missionary work, at Bristol, in connection 
with the Baptist Missionary Society; and on the 25th of the 
same month, sailed from London in- the American ship Crite- 
rion, arriving at Calcutta on October 12; from whence he pro- 
ceeded the following day to Serampore, a Danish settlement 
on the Hoogly. In the division of labour by the three mission- 
aries, Carey, Ward and Marshman, the latter was appointed to 
to superintend the school, and in the church organization, he 
was one of the deacons. About the year 1805, he commenced 
the study of the Chinese language under the tuition of Mr. 
Joannes Lassar, an Armenian born at Macao, who had been 
engaged* by the Rev. D. Brown, Provost of Fort William 
College, to commence a translation of the Scriptures in the 
Chinese language. To this work Marshman gave himself with 
great perseverance, till he had succeeded in producing the first 
complete translation of the entire Scriptures in Chinese. In 
1827, Carey, Ward and Marshman became dissociated from the 
Baptist Missionary Society. He died at Serampore, December 
7, 1837. 

Of twelve children born to Dr. Marshman, only six survived 
infancy. The eldest son was many years editor of the Friend 
of India newspaper^ and is now resident in London. The 
second and third sons were lawyers. The eldest daughter was 
manied to Mr. Williams, of the Bengal civil service; the second 
to Dr. Voigt the medical ofiicer at Serampore ; the youngest 
is Lady Havelock. 

Dr. Marshman has left the following published works: —

II. Mi 1AM ^^ Le-sun. ROBERT MORRISON, the 
actual founder of the Protestant mission to the Chinese, was 
the grandson of a Scotch farmer. His father, James Morrison 
was born near Dunfermline in Fifeshire, Scotland, and in 
early life removed across the border to the neighbourhood of 
Morpeth in Northumberland, the birthplace of hiS spouse 
Hannah Nicholson. There Robert was born at Buller's Green, 
January 5, 1782, the youngest son in a family of eight child- 
ren. About the year 1785, his parents removed to Newcastle, 
where he was afterwards taught reading and writing, by his 
uncle James Nicholson a respectable' schoolmaster; and at the 
proper age was apprenticed to his father, as a last and boot- 
tree maker. While engaged in that humble sphere, he joined 
the church of Christ, in connection with the Rev. J. Hutton 
of Highbridge Chapel, and in 1801, June 19, commenced a 
course of study under the Rev. W. Laidler, a Presbyterian min- 
ister in Newcastle, from whom he acquired the elements of the 
Latin, Greek and Hebrew languages, some systematic theolo- 
gy, and the art of writing short-hand. His zeal as a mem- 
ber of the Friendless Poor and Sick Society about that time, 
attracted the notice of his friends. On the 7th January 
1803, he entered the dissenting academy at Hoxton near 
London. Having been accepted by the London Missionary 
Society in 1805, he was sent by them to pursue his studies 
under the Rev. Dr. Bogue at Gosport. In 1806, he com- 
menced the study of Chinese in London, with the assistance 
of Yong Sam-tak, a Chinese who happened to be then in the 
country. On the 8th January 1807, he was ordained in the 
Scotch church, Swallow street, London. On the 31st, he 
embarked for China via America, and reached Macao on the 
4th September, whence he proceeded to Canton. On the 
20th February 1809, he was married to Miss Morton, and the 
same day was appointed translator to the East India Compa- 
ny. In 1815, his official connection with that body was broken 
off. In 1817, he accompanied Lord Amherst's embassy to 
Peking. On the 24th December of the same year, he was 
made Doctor of Divinity by the University of Glasgow. In 
1818, he was the means of establishing the Anglo-Chinese 
College at Malacca, for the interchangeable conununication of

the languages of England and China, with a view to the pro- 
motion of Christianity in the latter country. In 1821, his 
wife died ; the following year, he visited Malacca and Singa- 
pore ; and in 1824, returned to England. The same year 
he was made a Fellow of the Eoyal Society. He took to 
England a very considerable Chinese library, which is now 
deposited in the London University College. The Language In- 
stitution in Bartlett's Buildings, Holborn, London, was also set 
on foot by Dr. Morrison, during his stay in London, to initiate 
niissionaries into the languages of the countries where they 
were to be located. Towards the end of this year, he was 
married to Miss Armstrong, and in 1826 returned to China, 
where he laboured zealously in the mission cause at Canton, 
till his death, which occurred at his lodging, No. 6 in the 
Danish Hong at that city, on the 1st August, 1834. The 
following day his remains were removed to Macao, and buried 
in the private Protestant cemetery there on the 5th, beside 
those of his first wife and child. He left a family of six sur- 
viving children, two by his first wife, and four by the second. 
His only daughter was married to Dr. Hobson a medical 
' missionary, in 1847. 

The following works were written by Dr. Morrison: —

With regard to the 2nd Part, which Professor Julien of Paris 
designates, "without dispute, the best Chinese Dictionary 
composed in a European language," a somewhat singular con- 
troversy has existed for some years, but is now happily set at 
rest. Morrison tells us in his preface: — " The Chinese Work, 
Woo-chay-yun-foo jGl ¥ IS >^ ^^ which the following part of 
the Dictionary is founded, was compiled by Chin Seen-sang

publication. He committed his Manuscript to the care of his 
pupil Han-ylh-hoo ^ — -JlJ who travelled over the whole 
empire in order to verify it/ and add to it." After this 
explicit statement by Morrison, the public were taken by 
surprise to find Gallery in the Introduction to his Systema 
Phone ticum broadly asserting, that "it is nothing else than the 
English translation of a dictionary compiled by the Catholic 
missionaries, of which he himself possesses a manuscript copy." 
The great rarity of Chin Seen-sang's work seemed to give some 
countenance to the above charge. Professor Julien however 
had been making every eifort to procure a copy since 1828, 
through members of the Roman Catholic and Russian missions, 
but without effect till 1844; when he wrote to Mr. Thom the 
English Consul at Ningpo on May 10, quoting a letter from 
one of his pupils then residing at Macao, in these words: — 
"I havje just seen to-day the famous dictionary 3Sl^^ M 
Ou'C^i-yun-fou, of wWch Mr. Callery denies the existence. 
The title is not false, for it is continued from one end to the 
other upon every page of the work." The writer of these notes 
can add his testimony to the fact of it being a bona fide work, 
having examined in detail a copy of the same in the possession 
of the Rev. J. Edkins, now in Peking, which, he accidentally 
met with not far from Shanghae.

31. The Evangelist ; and Miscellanea Sinica, 4to. 4 Nos. 
Macao, 1833. This was a periodical commenced by Dr. Mor- 
rison, for the dissemination of evangelical principles in China. 
Only four numbers were published, in May and Juno of the 
year named, wlien he was requested by the President of the 
East India Company's Select Conmiittee, at the instance of 
the Governor of Macao, in conformity with a representation 
made by the Eoman Catholic Vicar general, to suspend all 
further issues, as contrary to the doctrines of the Roman Ca- 
tholic church. Thus prematurely ended the publication of 
the Evangelist. It was principally filled with papers exhibit- 
ing the doctrines, precepts, and promises of the Gospel. At 
the same time all matters relating to China and the surround- 
ing nations were also deemed worthy of notice. Each num- 
ber contained also short i)ieces in the Chinese character. 

Besides the above works, Morrison was an extensive con- 
tributor to the periodical literature of the day, and many ar- 
ticles from his pen are to be found in the Journals of Europe 
as well as China. 

The Indo-Chinese Gleaner, a quarterly magazine, con- 
taining miscellaneous communications on the Indo-Chinese 
nations, published at Malacca, 1817 — 1822, is in great mea- 
sure indebted to the contributions of Morrison, the joint con- 
ductor with Dr. Milne. 

In the ^'Evangelical Magazine" for 1825, is a series of 6 
letters by Morrison, on the Language, History, Eeligions, and 
Government of China. 

A succession of articles from the same hand appeared in the 
first 7 volumes of the Canton Kegister, and the first 3 volumes 
of the Chinese Repository. 

These and similar contributions to Missionary and other 
Magazines, besides numerous Tracts, for English Sailors, and 
Miscellaneous papers on various occasions, go to make up the 
literary labours of this devoted and persevering missionary. 

Mrs. Morrison, the widow of Dr. Moirison, who left Macao 
with her family, on account of health, in December, 1833, and

anived in London, the 5th of April, 1834, has given an 
important contribution to this department of literature, under 
the title: — ^ ^Memoirs of the Life and Labours of Kobert Mor- 
rison, D. D. F. R. S. M. R. A. S. Member of the Societe 
Asiatique of Paris, &c. &c. compiled by his Widow ; with 
critical notices of his Chinese works, by Samuel Kidd, and an 
Appendix containing original documents." 2 vols. 8vo. pp. 
ix, 551, vii, 543, 87. London, 1839. 

John Robert Morrison, the second son of the Rev. Robert 
Monison, was born at Macao on the 17th of April, 1814, and 
with his mother and sister elder than himself, embarked for 
England on the 21st of January following. On the 23rd of 
August, 1820, he returned with them to Macao ; but in less 
than two years, having meantime been bereft of his mother by 
death, he was sent to England to receive his education. Dur- 
ing the four succeeding years, his time was spent in receiving 
elementary instruction, in the first instance at the academy 
of the Rev. J. Clunie, L. L. D. at Manchester, and subse- 
quently at the Mill Hill Grammar school, near London. 
When his father embarked for Cliina, May 1st, 1826, after 
his two years visit to England, he took his son John with 
him. From that time his attention was chiefly directed to the 
study of the Chinese language, and after a short stay under 
the paternal roof at Macao, he was sent to the Anglo- 
Chinese college at Malacca. In two or three years he rejoined 
his father at Canton, and continued his studies under his im- 
mediate direction. It was shortly after this that he was em- 
ployed as interpreter, first to the British merchants in China, 
and then temporarily to the mission of the United States 
government to Cochin-china, in 1833. On his return to Can- 
ton, from this expedition, he resumed his duties to the mer- 
chants, and at the same time was engaged in aiding his labo- 
rious father, and was gradually introduced to the friendshijj 
and confidence of the foreign community. After the death of 
his father in 1834, he was appointed his successor, as Chinese 
Secretary and Interpreter to the Superintendents of British 
trade in China. Ever zealous and interested in the mission- 
ary work, shortly after this, it was to his efforts that the na- 
tive Christians were indebted for their release from incarcera- 
tion, to obtain which he had to pay a large sum of money. 
For several years, while the London Missionary Society was 
without any direct agent at Canton, he was entrusted with 
the charge of theii* affairs, and the earnest appeals which he 
sent to the directors from time to time, indicated the warm 
feelings w'ith which he watched the progress of the cause ; 
while aiding in the preparation of works for the press, instruc- 
ting and conversing with the natives. Dr. Morrison, shortly 



ROBSBT 9CORRI80N. 11 

before his death, had proposed that his son should undertake 
the work of revising the Chinese translation of the Scriptures, 
and the American Bible Society had made provision for sus- 
taining him in this undertaking. He was afterwards associ- 
ated with Messrs. Medhurst, Gutzlaff and Bridgman in the 
production of a new version. During the period of conflict 
and difficulty between the English and Chinese governments, 
which began in March 1839, and ended in August 1842, he 
occupied an onerous post in the service of his country, which 
he filled with much prudence, and satisfaction to his superiors. 
After a nine days illness^ he died at Macao on the 29th of Au- 
gust, 1843. 

He gave to the public one or two works, of essential impor- 
tance for the mercantile community in China. The following 
are from his hand: — 

1. Some Account of Charms, Talismans, and Felicitous 
Appendages worn about the person, or hung uj) in houses, 
&c. used by the Chinese. 4to. pp. 6. London, 1833. This 
was published in the "Transactions of the Koyal Asiatic 
Society/' Vol. 3, Part 2; but some copies were issued separ- 
ately. 

2. Companion to the Anglo-Chinese Calendar. 12mo. 1832, 

3. A Chinese Commercial Guide, consisting of a collection 
of details respecting foreign trade in China, pp. 116. Canton, 
1834. This has gone through several subsequent editions, 
since the author's death, in which the work has been entirely 
remodelled. 

« 
Not long after the death of Dr. Morrison, a noble monu- 
ment to his memory was erected, in the formation of the 
Morrison Education Society, the object of which was to 
improve and promote Education in China by schools and other 
means. John Eobert Morrison was the first Recording Secre- 
tary. Besides the foundation of a seminary in Hongkong, 
the Society has given substantial aid to inany educational es- 
tablishments in other parts of China. It has also accumulat- 
ed a library of considerable value. 

Kew A-gang commonly known as Agong, had been con- 
nected with the London Mission as a printer, almost from 
its first establishment, and during the lifetime of Dr. Milne, 
showed some anxiety to become a Christian. He was however, 
brought to acknowledge the truth by his fellow-countryman 
Leang Afa, and was baptized by Dr. Morrison at Macao, about 
the beginning of 1830. After his baptism, he received much 
opposition from his wife, who was devoted to idols. The 
same year he itinerated about 250 miles in the interior of 
China, in company with Leang Afa, instructing their conn-

trymen in the knowledge of Christ, and distributing religious 
tracts among them, which had been written and printed by 
themselves. Going in a south-west direction, they threw 
themselves into the train of one of the public examiners, and 
passing on from one district to another, they had free access 
to the young literati, among whom they distributed upwards 
of seven thousand tracts on the most important subjects. 
The following year, he was engaged by the London Mission- 
ary Society, as a Native Assistant. Having acquired from 
Mr. J. R, Morrison the art of lithography, he occupied himself 
printing tracts in Macao, and distributing them among his 
kindred and acquaintances, to whom he explained their con- 
tents ; and though exposed to opposition and contempt, he 
rejoiced in thus being able to aid the cause of the Divine 
Saviour. Labouring assiduously to multiply and to scatter 
the word of life. Dr. Morrison felt increasing satisfaction with 
his patient and persevering efforts. Having unwittingly 
offended one of his fellow-countrymen, he was, in 1835, 
reported to the police, as having had connection with foreign- 
ers, and a warrant was issued for his apprehension. Timely 
notice having been given him, he fled to the English ships at 
Lintin, and in 1836 proceeded to Malacca. In the mean 
time his son Ahe, having been decoyed out of Dr. Morrison's 
house at Macao, was apprehended and brought before the 
magistrate; and being found a ready informant, he was detained 
for a long time, but treated well. In 1844, Agong removed 
with Dr. Leggo to Hongkong, and was located in the Medical 
Missionary Society's Hospital there, where he preached to, 
and instructed the patients. There he has continued in con- 
nection with Dr. Legge, up to the present time ; proclaiming 
the gospel, and expounding the Scriptures from year to year, 
to his idolatrous compatriots. 

In 1833, Agong published a number of sheet tracts, con- 
sisting of extracts from the Scriptures, with pictures on the 
other side, which he termed "Picture Tracts." These were 
• entitled: — 

1. A Collection of Scriptures on the Being and Perfections 
of the great Creator, in opposition to Idols. 

2. The Beatitudes. 

3. Paul's Speech on Mars hill. 

The names of the others are not preserved.

Earish of Kennethmont in Aberdeensliire, Scotland, in 1785. 
[is father died when he was six years of age ; and his mother 
gave him the education common to others in the same con- 
dition of life. When very young, he was put out to farm

service, and was afterwards apprenticed to Mr. R. of his native 
parish, to learn the business of a liouso carpenter, in which 
employment he exhibited gi-eat dexterity, and piety of charac- 
ter. In early life, he seems to have distinguished himself by 
his profanity ; and though in his youth he had been the sub- 
ject of occasional serious impressions, yet it was not till he 
was sixteen years of age, that he fully knew the value and 
love of the Saviour. In 1804, he was received as a mem- 
ber of the Congregational church at Huntly, in his native 
county. About 1809, he made application to be received 
by the London Missionary Society, and having been conferred 
-with by a conamittee of ministers in Aberdeen, he was sent 
to Gosport, where he went through a regular and successful 
course of studies, under the direction of the Rev. Dr. Bogue. 
In July, 1812, he was ordained to the ministry, and dedicated 
to the service of Christ among the heathen. He was soon 
after married to Rachel, the daughter of Charles Cowie, Esqr; 
of Aberdeen. About a month after his ordinatiop, they em- 
barked at Portsmouth, and after some delays on the passage, 
arrived at Macao July 4th, 1813. Thence he was expelled by 
the authorities in three days, and proceeded to Canton, where 
he gave his undivided attention to the language. With the 
concurrence and advice of Mr. Morrison, after six months, he 
departed to visit Java and the Chinese settlements in the 
Archipelago, and there to distribute books and tracts; after 
which he returned to Canton, on September 5th, and spent 
the winter of 1814 there» In the spring of 1815, he com- 
menced a missionary settlement at Malacca ; where he gave 
himself to the care of schools, preaching, and the preparation 
and issue of missionary publications. In January, 1816, he 
visited the island of Penang, and established a press there. 
The last three or four years of his life were much devoted to 
the Anglo-Chinese college, of which he was the Principal. 
On the 9th August, 1817, he left Malacca, and landed in 
China on September 3 ; returning to Malacca in the beginning 
of 1818, where he arrived on February 17. Death had already • 
taken two of his dear children, and in March, 1819, his wife 
was called to her rest. November 26, 1820, the University of 
Glasgow conferred on him the honorary degree of Doctor of Divi- 
nity. He died on the 2nd June, 1822, leaving three surviving 
sons and a daughter. 

The following works are from his pen: —

Dialogues between Chang and Yuen. 20 leaves. Malacca, 1819. 
Chang is a worshipper of the true God, and Yuen is his hea- 
then neighbour. They meet by chance on the ' road, enter 
into conversation, and afterwards generally meet in the even- 
ings, under the Woo-tung tree. There are twelve dialogues, 
as follows: — 1. Questions proposed by Yuen concerning Chris- 
tian principles and character ; the Being of God. 2. Evangeli- 
cal repentance. 3. Character of Christ, and faith in him. 4. 
Good men seek their chief hajipiness in heaven ; annihilation 
of the soul considered. 5. Chang relates his first acquaintance 
with the New Testament. 6. Yuen having retired, is struck 
with horror at his own neglect of the true God ; visits Chang 
and finds him with his family at Prayer ; the resurrection of 
the dead. 7. Nature and qualities of the raised bodies ; doubts 
and objections. 8. Yuen on visiting Chang in the evening, finds 
him in his closet, which leads to a discussion on the object, 
and kinds of prayer ; worshipping the dead, &c. 9. The awful 

jaclgmoni to come ; a midnight i)rayer under the Woo-tung

tree. 10. Yuen objects to Chang's last night's prayer, because 
he confessed himself to be a sinner. 1 1. Yuen deeply impressed 
with the ideas of eternity and of sin, spends a whole night in his 
garden, bewailing his miserable condition. 12. Chang explains 
to him the method of salvation* by Jesus Christ; the felicity 
of heaven ; and misery of hell. Here the colloquies end some- 
what abruptly ; as it was obviously Dr. Milne's design to have 
continued them on to some more definite conclusion. This 
was reprinted at Malacca, in 1831, 42 leaves. It was again re- 
printed at Singapore, in 1836, 42 leaves. A revised edition 
was cut at Hongkong, in 1844, 41 leaves. These blocks 
were sent to London, stereotyped and printed there. An 
edition of the same was printed at Shanghae, in 1847. The 
original was reprinted at Ningpo, in 1847, 35 leaves. A 
slightly modified edition was i)ul)lished by the Kev. J. L. 
Shuck, at Shanghae, in 1849, 35 leaves. A revised edition, 
by the Rev. W. C. Milne, was published at Shanghae in 1851, 
with the title -^^^ ^^tk Ch'diig yueii Uang yeio seang

In this the narrative is compressed into 10 chapters, instead of 
12, the last of which was added by the Eev. J. Edkins, re- 
counting the complete conviction of Yuen, or as he is here 
called Yih, his baptism and admission into the church. This 
last was republished at Shanghae in 1861.

notices the extent of the existing calamity ; their erroneous

of their establishment. In the introduction, the nature of 
the Gospel of Christ; its propagation; introduction into the 
nations of Europe; state of those nations before that time; 
and the numerous benevolent societies in the west, are briefly 
touched upon. 1. The Missionary Society. A translation 
of its rules, with explanatory notes; its lissources ; its ope- 
rations among the heathen; methods it employs for the 
accomplishment of its object; a variety of doubts and objec- 
tions solved. The existence of other societies of a similar kind 
is noticed. 2. The Religious Tract Society, Translation of 
its plan, with notes; its operations; nature and qualities of 
the publications it issues; its agents ; the methods of circula- 
tion, &c. 3. The British and Foreign Bible Society, Its 
plan, with notes; its vast and increasing operations; patron- 
age; annual receipts and expenditure; books issued; transla- 
tions, &c. Auxiliary Missionary, Tract, and Bible Societies 
are hinted at in this pamphlet, which closes by shewing that 
though these societies differ in their plans of operation, their 
object is the same; that they are equally founded in true be- 
nevolence ; and that they are highly beneficial to mankind. 
Some freedom has been used in rendering the rules of these 
Institutions; one or two of mere temporary or local interest 
are left out — and in several instances, two rules put together ; 
but the general sense is preserved throughout.

mons in this book, the literal translation of the title is "Fifty 
two village sermons ;" indicating that Dr. Milne had the in- 
tention of publishing to the number of one for each week 
throughout the year; but this was never accomplished. The 
work was reprinted at Singapore, in 62 leaves. It was again 
reprinted at Ningpo in 1845, in 52 leaves. A revised edition

news. Malacca, 1817 — 1822. This Magazine which came 
out quarterly was edited, and for the greater part written by 
Dr. Milne. 

Leang Kung-fa, known generally as A-fa, was born in the 
year 1789, about seventy miles distant from Canton, in the 
province of Kwang-tung. His parents being poor, they were 
unable to provide any means of education for him till he was 
eleven years old. He then entered the village school, where 
he continued three or four years, during which time he studied 
the canonical Four Books, three of the Five Classics, and the 
Sacred Edict. He was now compelled to leave his parental 
home, in search of a livelihood, and came to Canton, where 
he tried the trade of a pencil maker, but ultimately took up 
the occupation of cutting wooden blocks for printing; in which 
he continued four years with one master, and shortly after 
left for a neighbouring village. In 1810, he was called home 
on account of his mother's death; but soon after returned to 
follow his trade again in Canton and the neighbourhood. 
About "^e middle of April 1815, he accompanied Mr. Milne 
to Malacca, to assist in printing Chinese books. About this 
time, he became very anxious about his spiritual state, but 
finding no relief from Buddhist practices, he was led by the 
domestic instructions of Mr. Milne, to place his trust iu 
Christ as the Saviour; and on the 3rd of November, 1816, he 
was received into the Christian Church by baptism, adminis- 
tered by Mr. Milne. In April, 1819, he returned to China 
to visit his family; but finding his friends wholly given to 
idolatry, he prepared and engraved a tract for their edifica- 
tion; a work which led to his apprehension by the police, 
when the books and blocks were all destroyed. After two 
days Dr. Morrison i)rocured his release; but not before he 
had received thirty blows with the bamboo, and had seventy 
dollars extorted from him. After his release, he spent forty 
days with his family, and then returned to Malacca. In 1820, 
he again visited China, when he succeeded in gaining over 
his wife to the cause of Christ, and baptized her; after which 
he went back to Malacca in 1821, where he remained till the 
death of Dr. Milne the foUomng year. In 1823, he returned 
again to his native place, and on the 20th of November that 
year, he took his infant son to Dr. Morrison, who baptized 
him, with the name Leang Tsin-tih. A-fa was then employed 
by the London Missionary Society, as a Native Teacher; Dr. 
Morrison having set him apart that year as an Evangelist to 
his countrymen, and ordained him more especially to the office 
of preaching in 1827. He had a daughter born in 1829; and 
in 1832, he was called to mourn over the death of another 
child. For several years he continued zealously to compose

print and distribute Christian books among his countrymen 
in the province of Kwang-tung, frequently attending at the 
literary examinations for that purpose, as well in the district 
cities as in the provincial capital. After the death of Dr. 
Morrison in 1834, A-fa and other native Christians were ap- 
prehended and imprisoned for circulating books, their release 
having been subsequently procured by Mr. J. R. Morrison, on 
the payment of a large sum of money. By the advice of Ms 
friends, A-fa then removed again with a son named Lou to 
Malacca for a time, where he was usefully employed in 
preaching the gospel, and other mission work. In 1837, he 
was attached to the Malacca station; and the following year 
joined the mission at Singapore. In July, 1839, he returned 
to China, and continued stedfast in the faith, proclaiming 
the truth from day to day, to his countrymen, till death 
closed his career A. D. 1855, at the age of 66. 
The following are some of his published works: —

Miscellaneous Exhortations. 37 leaves. Canton, 1819. This

passages in the 2nd Chapter of the Hebrews — 2 Peter, 2nd 
chapter — whole of the 1st chapter, and part of the 2nd, 3rd

10 to the ead— 1 Peter 4: 3 to 10—1 John 1 : 8, 9— James 
5th — three hymns and prayers. As the composition of a 
Christian Chinese mechanic, who was totally unacquainted 
with the gospel six years before, this tract cannot be expected 
to display a deep acquaintance with theology; but it appears 
on the whole evangelical, serious and useful. It was first 
submitted to Dr. Morrison, and having obtained his approval, 
A-la printed 200 copies for distribution. While thus engaged, 
he was carried off to prison, and the blocks and books seized 
and burnt by the police officers. In all his publications, he 
assumed the epithet of ^ ^ Heb shen, " Student of Excel- 
lence," or i^ ^ ^ j; Hed shen keu sze, "Retired student 
of Excellence.''

IV. *fU S Mill Too-szer WALTER HENRY MED- 
HURST was born in London on the 29th of April, 1796, and 
was educated at St. Paul's Cathedral School. He went to 
Gloucester at the age of fourteen, where he was apprenticed 
to a printer named Wood. Some time after, he became a 
member of the Independent congregation meeting in South- 
gate street chapel, under the ministry of the Rev. W. Bishop, 
the immediate agent of his conversion. Having replied to an 
advertisement for a printer to join the mission at Malacca, he 
was accepted by the Directors of the London Missionary 
Society ; spent a few months prioy to his departure at Hack-? 
ney College, then under the charge of Dr. CoUison, and em- 
barked from England in September, 1816. The vessel in 
which he sailed being obliged to put in at Madras, which he 
reached the 10th of February 1817, he was detained there 
some months; and in the interim entered into a matrimonial 
alliance with a lady of the maiden name of Elizabeth Martin, 
the widow of Captain Browne an Indian officer. He reached 
his destination at Malacca on June 12th, where he immediate- 
ly relieved Mr. Milne of the duties of the printing office. 
Without an exclusive restriction to this sphere however, he 
gave himself with all diligence to the study of the language, 
and engaged in the duties of teaching and preaching. His first 
son was born March 27, and died May 14, 1818. Early in the 
spring of 1819, he visited Penang, where he distributed tracts 
and established schools. The a})titude he had shewn in the 
matter of preaching, induced Ms colleagues to ordain him to 
the sacred office, the rite having been performed at Malacca, 
April 27th of that same year. On November 16th, his daughter 
Sarah Sophia was born. Towards the close of 1820, he again 
visited Penang, from whence, after spending a year in mission 
work, he removed to Batavia, and organized the various 



26 WALTSB HENRY MEDHURST. 

branches of a mission establishment. In the beginning of 
August, 1828, he went to Singapore, from which he took his 
departure in a Chinese junk on the 22nd of that month, and 
visited several places on the Malayan Peninsula, but failing 
to find Messrs. Tomlin andGutzlaff, ofwhom he was in search, 
he returned to Singapore on the 6th of October. He next pro- 
ceeded to Borneo, where he visited a number of Chinese settle- 
ments, and returned to Batavia on the 18th of January, 1829. 
On the 14th November of the same year, he left Batavia in com- 
pany with the Rev. J. Tomlin, on a journey along the north-east 
coast of Java, to the island of Bali, returning to his station 
on the 24th January, 1830. Through his means, the Para- 
pattan. Orphan Asylum in Batavia was established in 1833, 
to feed, clothe and educate the orphans of Christian parents. 
Subsequent to the decease of Dr. Monison, the small com- 
munity of Christians at Canton had been left without a pastor; 
and with a view to ascertain the condition of matters there, 
Mr. Medhurst paid them a visit in the summer of 1835, reach- 
ing Canton on the 21st July. Thence he embarked on the 
26th of August, in company with the Rev. E. Stevens, for a 
voyage along the coast of China, in order to ascertain the 
facilities for tract distribution and preaching. By the middle 
of September, they were on the north side of the Shantung 
promontory, where they landed at several places, and on their 
way back visited Shanghae, the island of Poo-too and other 
parts, arriving at the anchorage at Lin-tin on the 31st of 
October. Having returned to Batavia without delay, on the 
6th of April 1836, Mr. Medhurst embarked for England via 
Rotterdam, and reached London on the 5th of August. While 
there, he heard of the death of his eldest daughter, the wife of 
the Rev. H. Lockwood at Batavia. July 31st, 1838, he 
sailed from England, and arrived in Batavia on the 5th No- 
vember. The treaty between, England and China, having 
come into force in 1843, he left Batavia at the instigation of 
the directors to be present at a conference with his colleagues 
of the London Mission in August, at Hongkong. There 
also he attended a series of general meetings of the missionary 
body, which took place from August 22nd to September 
4th, regarding the translation of the Scriptures, a work in 
which he was to take a principal part. About the middle 
of December, he took up his residence at Shanghae, in com- 
pany with his medical colleague, Mr. W. Lockhart ; and the same 
year he appears to have received the degree of D. D. from a 
university in America. He remained at Shanghae, with the 
exception of occasional excursions in the country, sometimes 
for weeks together, till 1856 ; when being invited by the direc- 
tors of the Society to return to his native land, he left Shanghae 
on the 10th September, and landed at Southend on the 21st

January 1857, reaching London the next day; and died there on 
the 24th. He was honoured with a public funeral at Abney 
Park cemetery, where he was buried on the 30th. Besides 
an ajfflicted widow, he left a son, then Consul at Fuh-chow, 
and three daughters, Mrs. Hillier, widow of the Consul- 
general at Siam, Mrs. Saul, the widow of a merchant in 
Batavia, and Augusta the youngest of the family 
The following are his principal literary productions: —

ner. In this and many of his subsequent publications, Mr. 
Medhurst assumed the epithet f|J -^ ^ Shang tih chdyj ^^One 
who esteems virtue/' A subsequent edition was issued 
at Batavia in 1828. This was reprinted at Malacca in 
1832, and a small-sized edition appeared at Singapore 
in 1839. It was revised and recut at Hongkong in 1843, 
the blocks being sent to London, stereotyped and printed 
in 1846. A new edition was put through the press at 
Shanghae in 1845; and a reprint from the stereotype plates, 
at the same press in 1848. The same year, it was reprinted, in 
a smaller- type, at the Presbyterian Mission Press at Ningpo. 
In 1851, it underwent a complete and thorough revision by 
Dr. Medhurst, which was printed at Shanghae the same year; 
at Hongkong and also Amoy the following year; and again at 
Shanghae in 1856. The work has been several times published 
with a Commentary ; once by the author, under the title

Chronology. 40 leaves. Batavia, 1829. This work, which is 
printed by lithography, was again printed the same year 
at Malacca, by wooden blocks. It exhibits the Chinese and 
European accounts in parallel columns. The similarity be- 
tween the more authentic records of the Chinese, and the 
Scripture history, is remarkable. According to both, the 
human race sprang from one individual, the flood occurred- 
about the same time, preceded by the discovery of metals, and 
followed by that of wine. The seven years famine of Egypt 
nearly synchronize with those of China; and Sampson's strength 
and fall have their counterpart in the east. The work was 
drawn up to correct the vain boasting of the Chinese, and to 
shew them that we possess records four thousand years ear- 
lier than the Christian era. It was reprinted at Malacca, in 
1833, in 30 leaves.

tion of this work on the Divine attributes, in 29 chapters, is 
grounded on Bogue's Theological Lectures, and Dwight's 
Theology, adapted to the Chinese style as much as possisble. 
It was reprinted the same year at Malacca, in 105 leaves, by 
xylography. A second volume of 108 leaves, was published, 
by lithography at Batavia, in 1834, treating of the Creation 
and Fall of Man, in 14 additional chapters. The first volume

this last edition was stereotyped and printed at London in 1847;

was understood to be chiefly the work of Mr. Medhurst, and 
underwent a final revision by him, when he returned to Eng- 
land in 1836. Modified editions of this were also published 
at Singapore and Serampore. A new translation of the Old 
Testament was also the result of the joint labours of Messrs. 
G-utzlaff and Medhurst.

of the Lord's Prayer, were also published as a separate tract, 
with the title WtWSci^'^M^'^'^ ^^^^ chin fa cho6 keady

Shanghae, in 1850, with the title, WW^^^^ ^'^ ^«^«^

one continued treatise, in 24 leaves. A modification of the 25th

the term for God; the tract bearing the title |& ^ j0f ;5; 38 
Lun fCio sin die li, Discourse on Renovation. The 12th, 
15th and 16th isrere revised and modified by the author, who 
published them in the form of a single discourse in 1850, at 
Shanghae, in 9 leaves, with the title ^ Jfe A I& T'een t'ejin

press in 1854, and again in 1855. 

35. JI^MW^^ Y<2y soo keaou led. Condensed statement 
of Christianity. 36 leaves. Shanghae, 1846. This was writ- 
ten by Dr. Medhurst, at Fow-leang in Gan-hwuy, while on 
a visit there to an influential native, who was anxiously 
seeking after truth. It commLnces with a statement of the

leading truths of Christianity, drawn from the Old and New 
Testaments ; followed by a copy of the Nestorian inscription 
at Se-gan, A. D. 781, and a discussion of its contents. Next 
is a note on the Jesuit missionary Kicci ; another on his con- 
vert Sen Kwang-ke ; and a copy of Sen's Memorial to the 
emperor, in favour of the proscribed missionaries, A. D. 1617. 
The whole is concluded by three pi-oclamations by the Intend- 
ent of Circuit for Soo-chow, Sung-keang and Tae-chang, in 
favour of Christianity, A. D. 1845 ; the first on behalf of Ro- 
man (>atholics, the second more general, and the third defin- 
ing the distinction between Roman Catholics and Protestants. 
This was reprinted at Ningpo in 1847, in 20 leaves; omitting 
all the part subsequent to the discussion of the Nestorian 
monument. A revised edition was printed at Shanghae in 
1851, in 31 leaves, which in addition to the original issue, has 
a short account of Christ, extracted from the Slim seen t'ung 
keen, a Taouist work of the 17th century ; and a longer memoir 
on the same subject, from the Gltih fang toae Jci, a Jesuit 
w^ork published in 1623. Another revision Tvas published at 
Shanghae in 1853, in 43 leaves ; having in. addition to the 
above, two inscriptions, from stone tablets in the Jews' syna- 
gogue at Kae-fung-foo, giving an account of the introduction 
and establishment of Judaism in China ; but omitting the 
recent i)roclamations in favour of Christianity. The work 
was again revised by the Rev. J. Edkins, and printed in 
1858, in 32 leaves ; with a short memorial of Dr. Medhurst 
prefixed ; all the part following the Nestorian inscription in the 
preceding edition, being omitted in this, and some explanatory 
details regarding that inscription added by the reviser. This 
was again printed in 1862, with the omission of the memoir 
of Dr. Medhurst. 

36. MM%WM Y^U soo ^eang she chuen. Life of Christ. 
Lithography. 191 leaves. Shanghae, 1846. This is a suc- 
cinct narrative of the principal events in the life of our 
Saviolir, given entirely in the words of Scripture. The first 
17 leaves had already been published as a small tract by Mr. 
Gutzlaff; but the remainder appears to be a compilation by 
Dr. Medhurst, who appends his designation.

work published at the end of last century. It was reprinted 
at Shanghae, in 1849, in 18 leaves; having two additional

-to Ten questions regarding the Gospel.

in China, consisting of the Rt. Rev. Bisho}) Boone, the Rev. 
Drs. Medhurst and Bridgman, and the Revs. J. Stronach, W. 
Xowrie, and W. C. Milne. The work of the Committe com- 
imenced in 1847, and was completed in 1850; the greater part 
liaving been done by Dr. Medhurst the President ; so that it 
:inay well be considered his production. 

42. ^ $^ ^ ^ K'ew yd tseuen shoo. Old Testament. 
Shanghae, 1855. Tfeis translation was carried on for five or 
six books, by a Committee of Delegates, consisting of the Rt. 
Rev. Bishop Boone, the Rev. Drs. Medhurst and Bridgman, 
and the Revs. J. Stronach, W. C. Milne, and J. L. Shuck.; 
after which it was continued to the end, by the missionaries 
of the London Society, Rev. Dr. Medhurst, and Revs. J. 
Stronach and W. C. Milne ; but as with the New Testament, 
so with this, the executionof the work which was completed in 
1853, was mainly due to the energy and zeal of Dr. Medhurst.

the understanding that it should appear at irregular intervals, 
and that the numbers should not be limited to any particular 
size; depending on his time and opportunities to furnish the 
requisite amount of matter. It only lasted through four 
numbers; all the product of his own pen. These were — 1. A 
Glance at the Interior of China : obtained during a Journey

. Besides the above list, the contemporary periodical press was 
considerably indebted to Dr. Medhurst for occasional contri- 
butions. Many pieces from his pen are to be found in the 
Chinese Repository, the North China Herald, and other 
serials of the day. 

Mrs. Medhurst was also instrumental in adding to the mis- 
sionary literature, having translated '^Lloyds Scripture Cate- 
chism" into the Malay language, which was printed by li4:ho- 
graphy, in 1832 at Batavia, in 208 leaves. It was printed 
the following year, at the same press in the Roman character, 
by typography, in 16 leaves. Referring to this Mr. Medhurst 
remarks, that "an extensive population of professing Christians 
in the Moluccas will be furnished with a system of doctrine 
and precept, drawn entirely from Scripture, which may prove 
widely and lastingly beneficial." 

J^ mis ife -^^ ^^^^^ nedng nedng. Sophia Martin, the 
sister of Mrs. Medhurst, who lived with the missionary fami- 
ly at Batavia, removed to Singapore in 1829 in quest of 
health, where she assisted in conducting the Chinese schools, 
and was afterwards married to Dr. Little of that settlement. 
She has contributed a useful little work in the Chinese lan- 
guage, entitled:—

in China, accompanied Mr. Medhurst on his return to Eng- 
land in 1836, as amanuensis for the Sacred Scriptures, which 
the latter was engaged in translating into Chinese. While 
there he resided with Mr. Medhurst at Hackney, near Lon- 
don, being through the kindness of Christian friends, taught 
tho English language, and carefully instructed in the truths

of the gospel. At length, by the blessipg of God, a deep 
interest was awakened in his mind, and he gave his heart to 
the study of the word of God. His earnest desire for Christ- 
ian baptism, and his reasons, were expressed to Dr. Burder, 
in a letter dated July 6th, 1838. Mr. Medhurst being satisfied 
of his sincerity, baptized him on the 20th of tlie same month, 
at St. Thomas' Square Chapel, Hackney, in the presence of 
a large congregation. On the 31st, he left England in the 
George the Fourth, with Mr. Medhurst and Mr. Lockhart, 
whom he accompanied to Batavia, arriving there on the 5th 
of November; from which place he went with the latter to 
Canton, and reached that city about the end of 'January, 
1839. There he had been appointed to labour as Native As- 
sistant, in the service of the London Missionary Society; but 
the troubles between the English and Chinese governments* 
beginning to break out about that time, he retired to his na- 
tive village, and the engagement has not since been renewed. 



V. JOHN SLATER was a member of tlie Independent 
Church, in Great George street, Liverpool, where lie was or- 
dained, August 27, 181G, as a missionary to tlie heathen, at 
the same time as John Donaldson. He and Mrs. Slater left 
Europe the following year, in connection with the London 
Missionary Society, together with the Rev. Mr. Thomson, 
a native of Saxony, who was returning to his mission station 
at Malacca. On the voyage out, they were much encouraged 
by an apparent reformation among the sailors, consequent on 
their efforts for their spiritual good. Reaching Batavia, Mr. 
Slater was attacked by the endemic fever i)ecu]iar to that 
place, but after two months, he so far recovered, as to be 
able to undertake the voyage to Malacca. While at Batavia, 
he received great kindness from the Dutch Governor Van der 
Capellan, who expressed his readiness to assist in establishing 
a mission there. He left Batavia on December 10, in compa- 
ny with Mr. Thomsen, airived at Malacca on the 29th, 
and began the study of the Chinese language on January 1st, 
1818. His daughter Henrietta was born on February 1st. 
While applying himself with ardour to study, the state of 
his health obliged him frequently to desist, and on the 9th of 
August, he left Malacca for China, from whence he returned, 
much benefitted by the change. On the 27th of April, 1819, 
he left for Batavia with his famil}", which place he reached on 
the 18th of June, having touched at Singapore, Rhio, Ling- 
in, Banca and Pontiano, on the way, and distributed Scrip-

about fifteen thousand Chinese and Malay books for that 
purpose. Mr. Slater was the first to settle in Batavia, as a

missionary to the Chinese; hut he had scarcely provided him- 
self with a house, when it was burnt to the ground on October 
2; Mrs. Slater having been confined only a fortnight before. A 
subscription by the inhabitants, principally English, enabled 
him to repair the damage. While in Batavia, he engaged 
regularly In Chinese, Malay and English services, but his 
health failing, he was obliged to undertake a voyage to sea in. 
1822. On his retunn with partially improved health in J 823, 
he dissolved his connection with the Society. Since tlien he 
has entered into his rest. 



VI. JOHN INCE was born August 20th, 1795, and 
studied divinity under the Rev. Dr. Bogue at Gosport. Toge- 
ther with Messrs. Fleming and Mercer, he was ordained to the 
sacred office, in connection with the London Missionary So- 
ciety, at Union Chapel, Islington, London, on the evening of 
January 22nd, 1818. On February 17, he left England with 
Mrs. Ince in the General Graham, but meeting with very 
tempestuous weather, they were driven far to the north and 
anchored in the Downs on March 13. About the close of the 
month, they again put to sea, touched at Simon's Bay on 
June 21. where they remained a few days, left on the 30th,- 
aud reached Madras on the 10th of August. Sailing from 
thence on the 26th, they arrived at Malacca on the 14th of 
September, having touched at Penang on the way. On Octo- 
ber 3rd, his daughter Matilda was born. During the time he 
remained at Malacca, he gave himself to the study of the 
Chinese language; but shortly left that settlement for Pen- 
ang, where he arrived with his family, on the 28th of June, 
1819, that station having been pointed out to him by the 
Directors, before he left England. There he soon established 
schools for Chinese children, with the patronage and assistance 
of the government. In the early part of 1821, in company 
with Mr. Beighton, his colleague for the Malays, he performed 
a missionary tour along the coast of Queda on the Malay 
Peninsula, first visiting Queda Muda, distributing every- 
where copies of the Chinese Scriptures and tracts, and enter- 
ing into conversation with the Chinese. At Pulo Tega, they 
had an interview with the Rajah, who gave them permission 
to visit Queda. Later in the year he paid a visit to Malacca 
with his wife and child, on account of their health. In 1822, 
Mrs. Ince was called away to join her dear children, who had 
preceded her to the heavenly world. In 1824, a neat and 
commodious chapel was built for the use of the mission, to- 
wards which the inhabitants of the settlement subscribed very 
liberally. About that time the health of Mr. Ince declined 
very rapidly, till ultimately the complaint settled on his lungs;

and on the 24th of April, 1825, an abscess having formed, ho 
was released from his sufferiDgs, after a lingering and painful 
illness of some months duration. He left one daughter, 
Matilda. 

The only record we have of the literary labours of Mr. Ince, 
is a "School book/' printed at Malacca, in 1824. 



VII. SAMUEL MILTON, a member of the Independent 
Church, under the pastoral care of the Rev. R. P. Alien, in 
Exeter, was ordained to the office of a missionary to the 
heathen, on January 1st, 1818, under the patronage of the 
local branch of the London Society. He sailed from Graves- 
end with the Rev J. Ince and others in the General Graham 
on the 17th of February, being exposed to the same vicissitudes 
during the voyage, and anived with them at Malacca on Sep- 
tember 14th, where he had been appointed by the Directors of 
the Society, to assist in the Chinese department of the mission. 
He immediately set about the study of the Chinese language, 
but his health was several times so impaired, as to oblige him 
to cease, and at qther times much to abate, his assiduous and 
undeviating application. No sooner was the British flag 
hoisted at Singapore, than a grant of land was obtained for 
the mission there; and Mr. Milton proceeded, in 1819, to 
commence operations for the benefit of the Chinese in that 
island. He appears also to have given some time to the stu- 
dy of Siamese, having actually begun a translation of the 
Scriptures into that language; and on Dr. Morrison visiting 
the station in April, 1823, it was proposed that he should 
become Professor of Siamese in the Anglo-Chinese college 
then about to be removed to Singapore. He took part in the 
service, on occasion of laying the foundation stone of the Singa- 
pore Institution shortly after. During that year he went to Cal- 
cutta to purchase articles for the Printing Office, lately esta- 
blished in connection with the mission; brought back a com- 
positor with him, and commenced printing the Siamese ver- 
sion of Genesis; at the same time resuming his Siamese trans- 
lation of the Scriptures. He had also composed a tract on 
"Redemption," in that language, but we do not find that it 
was ever printed, although types were in preparation for the 
purpose. In 1825, his connection with the Missionary Socie- 
ty ceased; but he still continued to reside at Singapore, where 
he died in 1849. 



VIII. ROBERT FLEMING, who had studied under Dr. 
Bogue at Gosport, was ordained as a Missionary, in connec- 
tion with the London Society, along with Mr, Ince, at Union 



44 GEORGE H. HUTTMAN. 

Chapel Islington, January 22nd, 1818, and accompanied 
latter and Mr. Milton in the General Graham, as far as Mac 
where they landed on the 10th of August. As Mr. KniU 
missionary there was obliged to remove to a milder clia 
on account of his health, it was agreed by mutual const 
tion among the brethren, that Mr. Fleming should remaii 
a time to supply his place. Accordingly he commencec 
once the study of the Tamul and Sanscrit languages ; 
former as necessary for conversing with the common nati 
the latter as the key to all the Hindoo mythology. Du 
his residence there, the mission received much encourager 
in their work. A new accession arrived in the latter pa: 
1819, Mr. Fleming having meantime formed a matrimc 
alliance at Madras, and being unable to procure a pas 
direct to Malacca, his original destination, he proceeded ' 
Mrs. Fleming via Calcutta, which city he left on Nover 
7th. From various causes, the ship was detained nearlj 
weeks on the north coast of Sumatra, and while there, he 
the satisfaction of seeing the usurper of the throne of Ach 
and the murderer of Sabat, driven from his scene of pi 
and bloodshed. They stopped three days at Penang, anc 
rived at Malacca on the 29 th of January, 1820 ; when he c 
menced the study of Cliinese, finding great advantage fron 
introductory books published by Dr. Morrison. Towards 
end of the year, he took charge of the schools. His con 
tion with the mission however was of short duration, foi 
retired from the service in 1823 ; and has since been rem( 
to another world. 



IX. GEORGE H. HUTTMAN was engaged by the Lor 
Missionary Society, to take charge of the printing estab] 
ment at Malacca, which he reached on the 24th of Septem 
1820, having stopped at Batavia on the way out from Engl 
The superintendence of the printing office there was imm 
ately committed to his hands under the direction of Dr. Mi 
thus relieving Mr. Medhurst from the duties connected ^ 
it. These duties he continued satisfactorily to discharge til 
death of Dr. Milne in June, 1822, when he was appointed 
of the executors, and had the control of the mission commi 
to him, in conjunction with Mr. Humphreys. In Febri 
1823, when Dr. Morrison visited Malacca, he expressed g 
satisfaction with the management of affairs there. Mr. H 
man voluntarily dissolved his connection with the Society 
same year ; after which he went to Calcutta, where he 
engaged in the Government Press office. 



JAMES nUMPHREYS. 45 

X. JAMES HUMPHREYS, who had pursued his kudies, 
first at Glasgow, and afterwards at Gosport, was ordained as 
an agent of the London Missionary Society, at Oxendon Street 
Chapel, London, on February 13th, 1821. Some short time 
after, he embarked with Mrs. Humphreys in the Lonach, 
bound for India ; but tliey were obliged by contrary winds to 
put in at Falmouth. This port they left in the 21st of March, 
and reached Madras on the 21st of July ; whence they pro- 
ceeded to Malacca, their destination, arriving there towards 
the end of the year. On the death of Dr. Milne, Mr. Hum- 
phreys succeeded him, as Principal of the Anglo-Chinese 
college ; and besides the general superintendence, he conduc- 
ted tne English part of the education of the native students. 
Being then very imperfectly acquainted with the Chinese lan- 
guage, he held an English service in the Dutch Church, every 
Sabbath morning, having been appointed Government Chap- 
lain, which office he held till December, 1823, when he was 
relieved by the arrival of a Dutch Minister. On the cession 
of Malacca to the English in 1825, he was again appointed 
Chaplain to the settlement temi)orarily. Mrs. Humphreys 
died on the 29th of May, 1827, leaving three motherless chil- 
dren; and his health having been in a precarious state 
for a twelvemonth past, he paid a visit to Singapore shortly 
after, from which he obtained a temporary benefit. Although 
at the first he had given his attention to the Chinese language, 
with a view to active service among that people ; yet having 
acquired a competent kno wledge of tlie Malay, and the brethren 
in that quarter considering that the Malays were not suffi- 
ciently attended to, in 1827 he began to devote his attention 
almost entirely to that branch of the mission, at the same 
time resigning his office in the Anglo-Chinese college. A new 
mission chapel was opened on the 14th of April that year, in 
which he held a Malay service on Sabbath evenings, and the 
Malay and Tamil schools were under his charge, while he was 
accustomed to visit the people in their own houses. He had 
also the superintendence of the English and Malay printing 
presses. In 1828, he again went to Singapore on account of 
his health ; but his continued indisposition obliged him to 
return to England the following year, where he arrived on the 
2nd of November, with his two surviving children; and his 
connection with the Society ceased shortly after. Since that 
time he has been removed to a better world. 



XI. DAVID COLLIE, who had studied under Dr. Bogue 
at Gosport, was ordained in connection with the London Mis- 
sionary Society, at Castle Green Chapel, Bristol, on the 28th 
September, 1821. On the 8th of November, he sailed with 



46 DAVID COLLIE. 

his wife from Portsmouth in the Windsor Castle, touched at 
St. Jago on the 5th of December, stopped at Colombo on the 
17th of March, 1822, and left on the 20th, reaching Madras 
on the 26th. There Mrs. Collie die*l on the 24th of May ; 
and Mr. Collie arrived at his destination, Malacca, the 26th 
of June. In 1823, during Dr. Morrison's visits to Malac- 
ca, Mr. Collie enjoyed the benefit of his tuition in the Chinese 
language, in which he made very gratifying progress; and after 
the Doctor's departure, began to deliver a short discourse to 
the Chinese congregation every Sabbath. The same year, he 
was installed Professor of Chinese, and Librarian, in the 
Anglo-Chinese college. In 1826, he was manied a second 
time; and in 1827, succeeded Mr. Humphreys, as Principal 
of the Anglo-Chinese college. In 1828, his health began 
to give way, under his arduous and unremitting labours, and 
by medical advice, he embarked for Singapore on the 26th 
of February, but died at sea the following day, his body be- 
ing committed to the deep. He left a widow and one child 
to deplore his loss. 

The following are the principal of his published works: —

XII. SAMUEL KIDD was born at Welton, near Hull, 
on the 19th of June, 1799, and seems to have been the sub- 
ject of religious impressions at an early age. After he left 
the village school, he was instructed by his maternal grand- 
father in English Grammar and Mathematics, before he had 
attained his twelfth year. In October, 1817, he was admitted 
a member of the church in Fish street, Hull, under the Rev. 
J j J. Gilbert, and shortly after, began to long for an engage- 

,0 '. ment as a missionary to the heathen. This wish becoming 

known to the church of which he was a member, he was en- 
,r. , couraged to consecrate his life to the service. About the end 

of of 1820, he began a course of study under Dr. Bogue at Gos- 

al I port, in connection with the London Missionary Society. On the 

33 I z2nd of April, 1824, he was married to Hannah Irving. On 

le the 28th of the same month, he was ordained at Fish street 

I- Chapel, Hull. Proceeding to London, he received his first 

)f lesson in Chinese, from Dr. Morrison. May 24th, he sailed 

f- with his wife from Gravesend, in the Pyramus, reached Ma- 

st dras on the 30th of September ; sailed from thence on the

18th of October, iu the Helen, got to Penaiig on the 3rd of 
November, where they remained till the 13th, and arrived at 
Malacca their ultimate destination, on the 21st. He had al- 
ready begun the study of the written language on board ship, 
and commenced the Fuh-keen dialect of the Chinese within 
a week of his arrival at the station ; placing himself under 
the instruction of Mr. Collie, as a student in the college. After 
the death of Mr. Ince, in 1825, Mr. Kidd went to Penang to 
assist Mr. Beighton, from which place he returned in the earl/ 
part of 1826. In 1827, he was appointed professor of Chinese 
in the Anglo-Chinese college ; on the death of Mr. Collie in 

1828, he succeeded as principal; and on the 5th of April, 

1829, baptized Tsze Hea a Chinese youth, the first-fruit of the 
college. In December, 1829, he accompanied Mrs. Kidd and 
her three children to Singapore, on their return to England, 
on account of her health, where they arrived on the 24th of 
April, 1830. In the absence of a chaplain, that year, Mr. 
Kidd undertook an English service in the church every Sab- 
bath. In 1831, his health began to suffer, and he was obliged 
to visit Singapore in the early part of the year with a view to 
its restoration ; but was ultimately compelled to take a ' 
voyage to Europe with the same object, in the following year ; 
and arrived in England, in June; and as he never sufficiently 
rallied to admit of his return, his relation to the Society was 
amicably terminated. After a pastorate of three yeai s over 
the congregational Church at Manningtree in Essex, he was 
appointed Professor of the Chinese Language and Literature, 
in University College, London, in 1837, for the term of five 
years, which terminated in October 1842. Pending arrange- 
ments for the renewal of his engagement, he was carried off by 
an epileptic fit, on June 12th, 1843, leaving a widow and 
seven children.

XIII. JOHN SMITH, an ordained minister, and A. M. 
of the University of Glasgow, was, together with the Rca* 
Jacob Tomlin, set apart as a missionary to the heathen, at 
Trevor (chapel, Brompton, near London, on the evening of 
April 19th, 1826. On May 1st, he sailed from Portsmouth 
with Mrs. Smith, in the Lady Holland, touched at Madeira 



50 JACOB TOMLIN. 

on the 2l8t, and arrived at Madras on the 11th of September; 
i'rora which he embarked in the Euphemia, and reacned Ma- 
lacca towards the end of the year. His attention was at first 
given to the Fuh-keen dialect, which he studied under the 
guidance of Mr. Collie. On the 14th of April, 1827, he con- 
ducted the English service at the opening of the new mission 
chapel at Malacca, and almost immediately after, left for Sin- 
gapore, where his service was more needed. On the 24th of 
September, an association was formed, with the designation — 
"The Singapore Conmittee for extending the benefits of Edu- 
cation and the Knowledge of Christianity in Singapore and 
in the neighbouring Countries"; of which Mr. Smith was ap- 
pointed Secretary. On the death of Mr. Collie however, he 
returned to Malacca in April, 1828, and occupied the Chinese 
chair in the college. In the latter part of 1829, ho was obli- 
ged to leave Malacca on account of his health, and arrived 
in England on the 17th of February, 1830; soon after which 
he retired from his connection with the Society. He has since 
entered into his rest. 



XIV. JACOB TOMLIN, a clergyman, and A. B. of the 
University of Cambridge, was set apart to the missionary 
service, together w^ith the Kev. John Smith, at Trevor Chap- 
el, Brompton, April 19th, 1826. On the 20th of June, he 
sailed from the Downs, in the Florentia, and arrived at 
Calcutta, on the 22nd of October. After a stay of about two 
months, he sailed for Malacca, which he reached in the early 
part of 1827, and there commenced the study of the Fuh-keen 
dialect. In April he went to Singapore, in company with Mr. 
Smith. Towards the end of the year, he was induced to visit 
Batavia, on account of his health, where he remained two 
months, and returned to Singapore early in 1828 ; from which 
he made a visit to Khio, in company with Mr. Giitzlaff. Af- 
ter the death of Mr. Cc)llie, Mr. Tomlin removed to Malacca 
in March, to take charge of the 'junior English and Chinese 
classes in the college ; and accompanied Mr. Humphries in, 
some excursions into the interior of the peninsula ; but he was 
relieved from that post by Mr. Smith's arrival in April, and 
• returned to Singapore. On the 4th of August, he left for a 
visit to Siam with the Kev. Mr. Giitzlaff, and after a voyage 
of fifteen days, they arrived at Bankok. There he remained 
distributing books, and doing what he could among the Chi- 
nese inhabitants, till the middle of May, 1829, when he star- 
ted for Singapore, arriving after a passage of five weeks; where 
he resumed his labours of teaching and preaching. In autumn 
he embarked for Batavia, where he arrived with Mrs. Tomlin 
on October, 31st and from November to January accompanied 



SAMUEL DYER. 51 

Mr. Medhurst on his tour to the island of Bali, returning to 
Singapore early in 1830. On June 17th, 1831, he again em- 
barked for Siam in an Arab vessel, in company with Mr. A- 
beel, and reached Bankok on July 3; where they remained till 
the 14th of January in the following year, and then returned 
to Singapore in about a woek. Mr. Tomlin proceeded to 
Malacca, where his wife was residing; and on the departure 
of Mr, Kidd for England, he succeeded • him as Principal of 
the Anglo-Chinese college, his connection with the Mission- 
ary Society having in the mean time been dissolved. His 
post in the college, he held till the close of .1833; during 
which time he introduced a radical reform, abolishing the 
monthly stipend allowed to the students, which rule applied 
to all new candidates for admission. In 1834, he commenced 
a seminary at Malacca, on a new principle, entitled, "The 
Benevolent Institution, or Christian School for all Nations." 
Thfs embraced English, Malay, Portuguese and Chinese bran- 
ches, in each of which, the youth were instructed in their 
own language, while all were taught English and Malay, 
through the medium of their respective vernacular tongues. 
In 1836, he went to Bengal, leaving the School under the 
charge of a German missionary, recently arrived ; but he still 
took the principal onus of its support. He has since held a 
pastorate in England. 

Although Mr. Tomlin was engaged with Mr. Giitzlaff, in 
translating the Scriptures into Siamese, we do not hear of his 
work having been brought to maturity in that department. 
The following are some gf his productions in English. 

1. Journal kept during a voyage from Singapore to Siam, 
and while residing nine months in that country. Svo. pp. 67. 
Singapore. This is an account of Mr. Tomlin's first visit to 
Siam, in Company with Mr. GtitzlafF.

XV. SAMUEL DYEK, the son of John Dyer, was bom 



52 SAMUEL DTSIt. 

on tlie 20th of January, 1804, at the Royal Hospital at G-reen- 
wich, near London, while his father was Secretary of that in- 
stitution. His education was conducted under the parental 
roof, till he was twelve years of age. About that time, he 
was sent to a boarding school at Woolwich, superintended by 
the Rev. John Bickerdike, a dissenting Minister. In 1820, 
his father being appointed to the Chief-clerkship of the Ad- 
miralty, removed with his family to Paddington, where they 
attended the ministry of the Rev. J. Stratten. It was there 
that Samuel was converted, became a member of the Christian 
church in 1822, and devoted himself for several years to the 
work of the Sunday school. At first he studied for the Law, 
but while at Cambridge University, he firat conceived the 
thought of becoming a missionary. This thought maturing 
with time, on the 23rd of June, 1824, he offered himself to 
the London Missionary Society, by whom lie was accepted, 
and sent for a time to the missionary seminary at Grosport. 
Oh the 20th of February 1827, he was ordained at Paddington 
Chapel; and was shortly after married to the eldest daughter 
of Joseph Tarn, Esq. with whom he sailed for the Straits of 
Malacca, on the 10th of March, reached Madras on the 17th 
of July, and arrived at Penang on the 8th of August; where 
finding the mission in a very enfeebled state, he resolved on 
remaining, instead of proceeding to Malacca, his original des- 
tination. Besides the study of the language, the care of 
schools, and preaching, he bestowed much of his time in the 
invention and perfecting of Chinese metal type, with a view 
to the printing of the Scriptures, an .object he ever kept in 
view; and he succeeded in the partial formation of two fonts, 
which have never been excelled for accuracy and beauty. To- 
wards the end of 1828, he went to Malacca, for the purpose 
of visiting the brethren there, and maldng arrangements for the 
printing of Chinese books. In the earlier part of 1831, Mr. 
Dyer again visited Malacca, in company with Mrs. Dyer. 
While at Penang he lost a daughter in infancy, his firstborn, 
but he had also some surviving offspring when he left that 
island. In 1835 he went to reside at Malacca, where he ar- 
rived on the 26th of October, and devoted himself more especi- 
ally to the charge of the Printing oflice, and type founding. 
During his residence there, he was much encouraged by. the 
aspect of affairs, but the state of Mrs. Dyer's health required 
that he should leave Malacca for a time; accordingly he em- 
barked with his family in the John Dugdale from Singapore 
on the 15th of May, 1839, and arrived in England on the 
19th of September. He sailed again for the East, with his 
family, on the 2nd of August, 1841, onboard the Plantagenet, 
got to Cape Town on the 12th of October, where they made a 
short stay, and reached Calcuttaby the middle of December.

About the 26th of February, 1842, they arrived at Singapore, 
where he was now appointed, having touched at Penang and 
Malacca on the way. There he remained occupied with various 
departments of mission work till July 18, 1843, when he left 
to join the London Mission conference, and also to be present at 
a general convention of missionaries at Hongkong, to consult in 
regard to the translation of the Sacred Scriptures, his family 
meantime remaining at Singapore. He reached Hongkong 
on the 7th of August, was appointed Secretary of the con- 
-vention, and continued there throughout the meetings. At 
the close of these he visited Canton, and thence embarked in 
a vessel for Singapore, which touched at Macao on the way. 
There he was attacked so severely with fever, that it was found 
necessary to move him ashore, where he died on the 21st of 
October, and was buried in the Protestant cemetery, by the 
side of Dr. Morrison. He left a son, now in England; and two 
daughters, the eldest of whom, Burella, was married to the 
IRev. J. Burdon, a missionary in Shanghae, where she died; 
-the youngest, Maria, was married to Mr. J. H. Taylor, a mis- 
sionary in Ningpo, with whom she returned to England, and 
xiow resides in London.

XVI. «JfE ii ^0 SliHi-m, KARL FRIEDRICH AU- 
GUST G-UTZLAFF, the son of Johann Jacob Gutzlaff, a tailor, 
and a pious man, was born at Pyritz, a small town in Prussian 
Pomerania, on the 8th of July, 1803. He was deprived of his 
mother at the age of four. In early life, he was apprenticed 
to a brazier, and in 1818, first conceived the idea of Ijecoming 
a missionary to the heathen ; although at one time, he was 
engaged studying the Arabic and Turkish languages, with 
the intention of ultimately joining the Prussian Legation at 
Constantinople. At the age of eighteen he went to study at 
the Missionary Institute at Berlin. In 1823, he repaired to 
Rotterdam, was accepted by the Netherlands Missionary So- 
ciety, and continued his studies there awhile. From Rotter- 
dam he made a journey to Paris and London, in order to gain 
information regarding the requisites for a Missionary to the 
Malayan Archipelago, wliither he had decided to go. On the 
20th of July, 1826, he was ordained at Rotterdam, and sailed 
on the lltli of September in the Helena Christina, for Batavia 
where he amved on the 6th of January, 1827. There he 
lodged for a time with Mr. Medhurst, by whom he was initia- 
ted into the Malay and Chinese languages, in which latter he 
made astonishing progress. Although originally destined for 
the island of Sumatra, the warlike state of affairs prevented 
him going there at that time, and he took up his residence at 
Rhio, where he was appointed chaplain in conjunction with 
his missionary duties. His stay in that island however does 
not appeal' to have been of long duration, for we find him 
at Singapore in 1828. On the 4th of August the same year, 
he left that place with Mr. Tomlin in a Chinese junk for Siam, 
where they landed on the 23rd. In 1829, he left the service 
of the Netherlands Society; went to Singapore, at the invita- 
tion of the Rev. Mr. Smith, and thence to Malacca, where he 
took charge of the London Mission, during the absence of the 
resident missionary; at the same time he married Miss. Mary 
Newell an English lady, and returned with her to Singapore, 
which they left for Siam on the 14th February 1830. In the 
early part of 1831, Mrs. Gutzlaff gave birth to a daughter and 
both mother and babe found a final resting place at Bankok. 
The death of the latter took place some ten days after he had 
gone on board a junk to proceed to China. They finally 
set sail on the 18th of June, and after calling at some places

along the coast, reached T'een-tsin towards the end of Sep- 
tember, and the following month proceeded northwards up 
the Gulf of Leaou-tung; whence they returned to the south, 
arriving at Macao on the 13th of December. Mr. Griitzlaff 
had commended himself to the natives, by the practice of 
medicine among them, having also adopted the native garb, 
and assumed one of their clan names; while lie distributed 
Christian books to a great extent, on every available occasion. 
On the 25Hi of February the following year, he again em- 
"barked, in the Lord Amherst, a ship chartered by the East 
India Company, for a voyage along the coast of China, Formo- 
sa, Corea, and Loo-choo, in which he acted as interpreter and 
fiui'geon. • Although the object of the projectors failed, in open- 
ing up a new channel for trade, he had an opportunity of dis- 
tributing many books among the people; and returned to Ma- 
oao, on September 5. On the 12th of October, he undertook 
«,nother voyage to the north in the Sylph, from which he re- 
-turned to Canton on the 29th of April, 1833. He continued 
Tnuch of the time for the next year, in various vessels on the 
<;oast, engaged in distributing Christian books and speaking to 
"the people; having received occasional pecuniary grants from 
-the London Missionary Society. In March, 1834, he made a 
^isit to Malacca, where he was married to Miss Warnstall, an 
lEnglish lad)', residing in the family of the Hon. S. Garling, then 
Hesident.of the settlement. In 1835, he was appointed one 
of the Chinese secretaries to the English commission in Chi- 
na. On tlie 24th June, 1837, he sailed in the British ship 
Kaleigh for Fuh-chow, from which they crossed over to Loo- 
choo, and on the 15th of July he was put on board the 
American ship Morrison, then on a mission to Japan, to take 
back some shipwrecked Japanese. They reached the Bay of 
Yedo, but were unsuccessful in the object of their voyage, 
and returned to Macao on the 29th of August. In !838, Mr. 
Gtitzlaff again made a trip to Fuh-keen ; his homo being still 
at Macao till the breaking out of the war in 1839. During 
the period of hostilities, he was employed in a variety of ways; 
a part of the time, he was specially attached to Sir Hugh 
Gough's staff. He was for some time magistrate at Chusan 
in 1842-3 ; and on the decease of the Hon. J. K. Morrison, 
in August, 1843, he succeeded him as Chinese Secretary to 
the government of Hongkong, which post he held till his 
death. In the midst of his ipiiltifarious .official duties how- 
ever, he did not forget the mission work ; and among other 
schemes for extending t>he cause, in 1844, he established a 
Society of natives, under the name of the ^ ^ Han hivuij 
^'Chinese Union,'' for the purpose of preaching the Gospel, 
and distributing books far and wide throughout the empire.

he visited Europe, where he was married to Miss Grabriel, 
an English lady, with whom he returned to China in January, 
1851, and died at Hongkong on the 9th of August the same 
year.

XVII. :fS Yang, WILLIAM YOUNG, bom in the Ma- 
layan Archipelago, became a member of the Baptist church ; 
and while residing at Batavia in his early days, formed an 
acquaintance with Mr. Medhurst, by whom he was engaged as 
Assistant in the mission work there in 1828. During the ab- 
sence of the latter on his tour to the Malayan peninsula and 
the islands, the affairs of the station were left in the chai^ 
of Mr. Young, who gave much satisfaction, and made good 
progress in the Chinese and Malay languages. In 1829 be -■ 
preached regularly in Malay ; to the Amboynese, a service 
which there is reason to hope was attended by a blessing to 
some. The following year he took the superintendence of the 
mission schools, which he sustained in conjunction with other 
duties, with fidelity and perseverance. While Mr. Medhurst^ 
was absent at Canton, and along the coast of China in 1835, 
the onus of the Batavia station fell entirely on Mr. Young ; 
and he continued to discharge the various duties, aided by 
Mr. Barenstein, while Mr. Medhurst was on a visit to his na- • 
tive land, from 1836 to 1838. The severity of the labour 
however told so much upon his health, that on the return of 
Mr. Medhurst from England, it was found necessary for Mr. 
young to take a sea voyage, and he paid a visit to Macao the 
following year, whence he returned in 1840. greatly improved. 
He resumed his duties of preaching in Chinese and Mamy and 
superintending the schools ; and again took the general charge 
while Mr. Medhurst was absent on a journey to the eastern 
extremity of Java. In 1843, when Batavia was abandons! as 
a mission station by the London Society, and the brethren 
repaired to the conference at Hong-kong, Mr. Young was ap- 
pointed to carry forward the Chinese department of the mission

at Singapore. There he remained till the summer of 1844, 
when he removed with his wife to China, and arrived at Amoy 
on July 8th, where he had been appointed as Assistant mission- 
ary. At first he was located with the Rev. J. Stronach on the 
adjoining island of Koo-lang-seu, from which he made occa- 
sional itinerancies on the main land, in company with some 
of the missionaries ; and ultimately they succeeded in procur- 
ing a house, and opened a chapel in the town of Amoy, on 
December 1st. There Mr. Young conducted divine worship 
in Chinese alternately with Mr. Stronach ; as also in the chapel 
of the American brethren. In 1846, the health of Mrs. Young, 
who had been assiduous in her labours among the Chinese, 
suffered so severely, that he found it needful to accompany 
her to Hongkong in August, and thence to England, which 
they reached on the 11th of April, 1847. Having been rein- 
vifforated by this visit, they sailed again for China with a large 
missionary party in the Ferozepore on the 19th of March, 1848, 
reaching Hong-kong in July, and arrived at Amoy on the 2nd 
of September. About this time, he appears to have been or- 
dained to the ministry. In 1850, he found it necessary again 
to visit Hong-kong with his wife, on account of their health ; 
and in consequence of the complete failure of Mrs. Young, it was 
deemed expedient to undertake a voyage to Australia in the 
early part of 1854. On the way to Singapore, they suffered 
a disastrous shipwreck, but at length reached Sydney in safety 
on the 9th of September, where Mr. Young commenced preach- 
ing to the Chinese emigrants settled in that city. Although 
unable to return to the scene of his former labours, he con- 
tinued to exert himself for the good of the Chinese ; and after 
the death of Mrs. Young, which occurred early in 1857, he 
still remained in the country, sustaining a connection with the 
Missionary Society till 1858, when it appears to have termi- 
nated. He has since that time been engaged as pastor of a 
Chinese church in Ballarat, in connection with[the Presbyterian 
church in Australia.

BEIDGMAN was lx)rn April 22nd, 1801, in Belchertown, 
Massachusetts, U. S. A., of jrious parents, whose ance&tora 
were among the Pilgrim Fathers, and settled in New England, 
— ^Andrew Warner in 1636 and James Bridgman in 1640. 
He was converted at the early age of eleven, and hecame a 
communicant of the Congi-egational Church ia his native town 
under, the pastorate of the Rev. E. Porter, in his twelfth year. 
Soon after, he became deeply interested in the Missionary 
work, and it was his desire to carry ^'the glad tidings" to the 
heathen, that determined liira, eventually to abandon the 
agricultural pursuits of bis early life, and prepare for the 
ministiy. His academical studies were jmisued in his native 
town ; his collegiate at Amherst, where he graduated in 1826 j 
and his theological at Andover. He was ordained a mission- 
ary to the heathen on Oct. 6th, 1829, in connection with the 
American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions, and 
on the 14th sailed, together with tlie Rev. D. Abeel in the 
Roman for China, where he arrived on the 19tli of February 
1830, the first agent of that body in the country, and wa» 
welcomed by Dr Morrison, then the only Protectant misdon- 
aiy settled within the empire. From the commencement, and 
throughout his long career, he exhibited not only a close at- 
tachment to the mission cause, but a degi-ee of public spirit in 
all schemes for the amelioration of the condition of his fellow 
beings. On the formation of the Society for the Diffusion of 
Useful knowledge in China, in November, 1834, he wa» ap- 
pointed joint Chinese secretary with Mr. Giitzlaff. One of 
the originators of the Morrison Education Society, Dr. Bridg- 
man was appointed Corresponding secretary, from the com- 
mencement, in January 1836. When the Medical Missionary 
society was formed at Canton, in February, 1838, he was 
elected Vice-president. He continued to reside in the foreign 
factories at Canton, until the outbreak of the political troubles 
consequent upon the war with the English, commencing in 
1839, when he removed to Macao. On the 14th of July, 1841, 
the degree of D. D. was conferred on him by the University of 
New York.* At the series of general meetings of Missionaries 

* 'On July 1st, 1842 he removed to Hong-kong and in September, he suc- 
ceeded Mr. Dent, as President of the Monison Education Society^

Jield at Hong-kong from August 22n(l to SepteniLer 4th, 1843, 
to consult regarding a new translation of the Scriptures, he 
was present on every occasion^ and at the session of August 
25th, was appointed with Mr. Dean, to confer on rendering 
the word Baptizo in Chinese ; but they gave in their report 
on the 1st of September, to the effect that they were not pre- 
pared to recommend any term. 

When the American Legation under Caleb Cushing arrived 
in China, in February, 1844, Dr. Bridgraan was appointed 
joint Secretary with Dr. Parker, and also Chaplain to the Le- 
gation. On the 28tli of June, 1845, he was married to Eliza 
•Jane Gillet, in the Colonial chapel at Hong-kong, and returned 
lo Canton on July 3rd. In September, he paid a visit to Hong- , 
iong, with Mrs. Bridgman. Having been deputed to represent 
Canton in the Committee of Delegates for the translation of 
the New Testament, he arrived at Shangliae June 23rd, 1847, 
in order to be present at their meetings. He was a regular 
attendent at these from their commencement on July 1st, 1847, • 
till the completion of the New Testament in the Summer of 
1850. He was then elected to the same post, in the commitieo 
for translating the Old Testament which connnenced on the 
Ist of August of that year, and was digsolved on the 12th of 
February, 1851. After that, he still remained in Shanghac 
engaged in translating the Scriptures, till February 3rd, 1852, 
vhen, on account of ill health, he embarked with Mrs. Bridg- 
man in the Adelaide for New York, where they arrived on the 
l6th of June. Keembarking in the Wild Pigeon, on Oct. 12th, 
they returned via Cape Horn and San Francisco, reaching 
Canton April 1st, and Shanghac, May 3rd, 1853. In May 
1854, he accompanied the expedition in the U. S. steamer to 
the insurgents at Nan-king, and further on to Woo-hoo, act- 
ing as interpreter on the occasion. In 1856, ho paid a hasty 
visit to Fuh-chow ; and in November of the same year, he and 
Mrs. Bridgman made a trip to Ning-po. He was actively 
instrumental in the formation of the North China Branch of 
the Eoyal Asiatic Society, being chosen President at the com- 
mencement, in 1857, which ojfficeheheld till September, 1859. 
From the period of his return from America, his time was 
chiefly occupied with a new translation of the Scriptures, in 
concert with the Rev. M. S. Culbertson, up to the last days of 
his life. He died November 2nd, 1861, in his own house, and 
was buried in the Shanghac cemetery, where a marble monu- 
ment has been erected to his memoiy by his missionary 
brethren.

XIX. ^^M^ci Pe-U, DAVID ABEEL was born at 
New Brunswick, New Jersey, U. S. June 12, 1804. His fami- 
ly was originally from Amsterdam in Holland ; and his father 
was an officer in the United States navy during the revolu- 
tion. His mother Jane Hassert was distinguished for her 
piety. At the age of fifteen he sought admission into the 
Military Academy at West Point, but withdrew his applica- 
tion, on account of the large number who had previously ap- 
plied, and turned his attention to the study of medicine for 
about a year. When about seventeen years of age, his mind 
was seriously arrested by religious truth. After due consider-

ation he devoted himself to the work of the ministry, and in 
1823, entered the Theological Seminary at New Brunswick, 
where he completed his course in April, 1826. On the 20th 
of the same month he was licensed to preach, and during the 
next month received his commission as pastor in Athens, 
Greene county, New York, where he continued two years and 
a half, labouring with considerable success. In November, 
1828, he sailed for St. John's one of the Danish West Indian 
islands, to recruit his energies, and with the expectation of 
proclaiming the Gospel, as he found opportunity. The people 
there had enjoyed no regular preaching for » thirty-six years, 
but the government prohibited him exercising his sacred call- 
ing, and after holding services for two months, he was forbids J| 
den to continue the meetings. He therefore returned to New ^ 
York, in August, 1829, and soon after, a proposition was 
made to him to go to China as chaplain for the Seamen's 
Friend Society, to labour for seamen frequenting tha port of 
Canton. This he accepted with the understanding t]p,t^fter 
one year, he was to enter the service of the American ibani 
of Foreign Missions, for the purpose of exploring the fclaufc 
and countries in eastern Asia, to ascertain the best fdeitiopi ^ 
for mission stations. He sailed for Canton Octob^ f4tfe ill T

free passage having been offered him to Anjief, it tb# A C* ^

tour of exploration. From Anjier, he reached Jaiavia, Ja- 
nuary 20th, 1831, where he was greatly aided 1^ the Ee^. W. 
H. Medhurst, in his inquiries concerning ihe iJhincse and 
Malays. From Java, he proceeded on Juno |(fch to ^mgapore, 
where he arrived on the 14th, and met tl* Ret. J. Tomlin, 
about leaving for Siam. They sailed together on the i7th in 
an Arab ship for Bankok, where they landed JHy 2nd. There 
he remained till the 7th of the following January, distributing 
tracts, and exploring the place for a missionary station, re- 
turning to Singapore on the 13th. On March 6th he left for 
a trip to Malacca, in order to recruit his energies, and arrived 
there on the 12 th. . On the 27th, he again embarked in a na- 
tive brig, and reached Singapore April 2nd. He started again 
on the 18th of the same month, in a Chinese junk for Siam, 
where he landed on the 19th of May. He left that country 
in a schooner on November 5th, and reached Singapore in 
little more than two weeks. On the 28 th of the same month,

This anonymous pamphlet is without date, or any indication 
of the place where printed ; but appears probably to have been 
published while the author was residing in the Straits, about 
1833. It is a fervent appeal against the lamentably prevalent 
custom in the . East, of Europeans holding illicit connexions 
with the native females.

A volume of Sermons on the subject of Missions was also

A good many articles by him are to be found in the earlier

XX. HERMAN ROTTGER, an ordained agent of the 
Netherlands Missionary Society, came out to the East in 
1832, having been appointed with four other Dutch Mission- 
aries, to the Moluccas. The recent exploits of Mr. Gtitzlaff 
however, along the coast of China, seem to have had a power- 
ful influence, in diverting his sympathy towards that people ; 
and the following year, having determined to give himself to 
the Chinese Mission, he took up his residence at Rhio, on the 
island of Bintang. He was also a})poiuted Chaplain to the 
Dutch government there. In 1841, he made a tour to the 
islands of Lingin, Banca, Sumatra, &c, distributing Blbks.

journey over Borneo and Sumatra, when ill health compelled 
him to return to Europe next year. He appears subsequently 
to have resumed his station however, but retired from the 
missionary service in 1846, and eventually returned to Ger- 
many. 



XXI. JOHN EVANS was for many years engaged in the 
work of education in England, and trained a number of pupils 
for Cambridge and Oxford Universities, having been successive- 
ly Professor of Classics, Mathematics, Hebrew and Arabic. He 
was ordained as a missionary for the Chinese department of 
the Ultra-Ganges mission, in connection with the London 
Society, at Hertford, on the 14th of December, 1832. Being 
appointed to Malacca, he sailed from Gravesend with Mrs. 
Evana and their little boy, in the Emma for Singapore, on the 
13th of March, 1833, and reached Batavia on the 7th of July. 
After a week's sojourn therewith Mr. Mcdhurst, they went on 
to Singapore, where they arrived on the 23rd. Thence they 
proceeded to Malacca in the Forth, where th(^y arrived on the 
8th of August. On May 1st 1834, Mr. Evans succeeded Mr. 
Tomlin, as principal of the Anglo Chinese College. The health 
of Mrs. Evans in 1840 necessitating a change of climate, she 
left Malacca in the Autumn and arrived in London on the 5 th 
of November that year. On the 28th of the same month, Mr. 
Evans being called to visit the Eev. J. Hughes, a short distance 
from Malacca, who was in his last suiferings from cholera, was 
himself suddenly attacked by that disease, and died in less 
than five hours from its commencement.

after which he was ordained, and appointed a missionary to 
the Chinese, by the American Board of Commissioners for 
Foreign Misvsions. He was married to Hannah Maria Preston, 
on May 26, 1833, with whom he sailed from Boston on the 
10th of June, accompanied by Messrs. Robinson, Lyman and 
Munson with their wives. On September 30th, they arrived 
at Batavia, and thence, Mr. and Mrs. Johnson with Mr. and 
Mrs. Robinson proceeded to Singapore. On the 14th of Nov. 
Mr. Johnson embarked with his wife in a ship bound from 
that port to Siam, but being driven ba^k by the monsoon, 
they returned to Singapore on the 31st of December. There 
however he advanced with the study of the Chinese language 
under good advantages ; and eventually they reached Bankok 
in company with Mr. Robinson and family on the 25th of July, 
1834. During the year 1835, they lost two children by death. 
In consequence of the state of Mrs. Johnson's health, he left 
with his family for the United States, in the summer of 1838, 
and after being detained for two months at Mauritius by a 
leak in the ship, they reached Philadelphia on December 6. 
Shortly after, he was called to Boston, :and during his absence, 
Mrs. Johnson died at Philadelphia on January 8, 1839. In 
November, 1840, Mr. Johnson was married to Mary Fowler, 
and soon after embarked for the East. They reached Bankok, 
May 11, 1841, and on July 1st, Mrs. Johnson died of fever, 
supposed to have been cojitracted at Java, where they called

on the way. In 1846, Mr. Johnson left Siam, and arrived at 
Fuh-chow, the 2nd of January the following year, the first to 
commence a mission at that port. September 17th, 1849, he 
was married to Caroline M. Selmer, a native of Stockholm 
engaged in missionary work at Ningpo, in concert with Miss 
Aldersey. He left China at the close of 1852, returned to the 
United States, and retired from the missionary services. He 
now resides in St. Lawrence county. New York. 

There is a descriptive account of Fuh-chow by Mr. Johnson, 
in the 16th volume of the Chinese Repository. 



XXV. SAMUEL MUNSON, a student from Andover 
Theological Seminary, was ordained as a missionary of the 
American Board of Commissioners, at Orleans, U. S., on Oct. 
lOth, 1822. He embarked for the East with Mrs. Munson, 
at Boston, U. S. on June 10th, 1833, accompanied by the 
Revs. Messrs. Lyman, Johnson and Robinson, with their 
"w-ives, and arrived at Batavia on the 30th of September. The 
special mission of Messrs. Munson and Lyman, was a tour of 
observation and inquiry among the islands of the Indian 
Archipelago, and especially what may be termed the Malayan 
group ; that is Sumatra and some small islands in its neigh- 
bourhood, Java, Celebes, and the Sula islands, the Moluccas 
and Borneo. On reaching Batavia, Mr. Munson devoted his 
attention primarily to the Chinese* language, under the guid- 
ance of Mr. Medhurst. Leaving their wives at Batavia, these 
two brethren started on the 8th of April, 1834, for a tour. 
On the 26th, they arrived at Padang, where they remained 
till May 12th, and reached Nias on the 28th. On June 17th 
they reached Tappanovly in the island of Sumatra, from 
whence they started on the 23rd to penetrate into the interior 
of the Battak country. Although friends endeavoured to 
dissuade them from their purpose, on account of apprehended 
danger, they persisted in their original intention, and on the 
afternoon of the 28th, while pursuing their journey, between 
Goeting and Tobah, they were suddenly surrounded by a 
large party of Battak cannibals and immediately dispatched ; 
Mr. Munson being run through the body with a spear, and 
consumed by the savages on the following day. 



XXVI. fg H Pill Ked, PETER PARKER, a medical 
graduate, and student of the New Haven Theological Semin- 
ary, was ordained as a missionary, at Philadelphia, on May 
I6th, 1834, with a view to his proceeding to China under the 
American Board of Commissioners. On the 3rd of June, he 
embarked at New York in the Morrison, for China, and 



82 PETER PARKER. 

arrived at Canton on October 26th ; but left again on the 
14th of December in the Fort William, to join Mr. Tracy at 
Singapore. There he opened a dispensary for the Chinese od 
January 1st, 1835, and continued it till the following August 
Soon after that he returned to Canton, and commenced ao 
Opthalmic Hospital at that jiort. In May, 1836, he made a 
temporary visit to Macao, during some repairs of the hospital. 
When the Morrison sailed for Japan, with a party of ship- 
wrecked natives on July 3rd, 1837, Dr. Parker joined the 
expedition as surgeon, and had an opportunity of practising 
among the Loo-chooans at Napa, but the object of the voyage 
having utterly failed, he returned in the vessel to Macao on 
the 29th of August. Sickness prevented him attending to 
the hospital for another month, and it was reopened on Oct. 
1st. In February, 1838, the Medical Missionary Society was 
formed at Canton, when Dr. Parker was elected Vice-presi- 
dent, and his hospital taken under its patronage. Shortly 
after, his labours there were temporarily interrupted, when he 
went to Macao and established a hospital under the auspices 
of the Society, the same year, which he attended to from July 
5th to October 1st, and then returned to Canton. During 
April and May, 1839, when all foreigners at Canton were 
confined within the factories, the operations at the hospital 
were necessarily suspended, and Dr. Parker merely practised 
on a few cases privatel3^ This plan he continued for a time, 
after the release of the fol'fiigners, till the numbers becoming 
too great for his private apartments, he took possession of the 
Canton Dispensary recently vacated by the English pliysician, 
which became rather a general than an opthalmic hospital. 
Political troubles increasing at the provincial city in 1840, he 
found it necessary to close the establishment, and embarked 
for New York in the Niantic, on the 5th of July that year. 
While in the United States, it was his aim to advance the 
cause of Medical Missions in China, for which purpose he 
gave many public addresses, at Washington, Philadelphia, 
New York, Boston, and other places ; and sailed for England 
on the l7tli of April, 1841. After remaining six weeks ia 
London, he visited successively Cambridge, Birmingham, 
Liverpool, Glasgow and Edinburgh, meeting with much. 
sympathy and encouragement. At the same time, he paid a 
brief visit to Paris^ and returned to America, where he spent 
the chief part of the winter in Philadelphia. During hi» 
absence from China, ho contracted a matrimonial alliance, and 
returned with Mrs. Parker, arriving on October 4th, 1842. 
The 5th of following month, they took up their residence afc 
Canton, and he recommenced his labours in the Opthalmic 
Hospital on the 21st of November, devoting a portion of his 
time to English preaching. In March, 1844, he was appoint- 



PET£lt PABKER. 83 

ed joint Secretary with Dr. Bridginan to the American 
Legation, under Caleb Gushing, just arrived in China ; which 
formed the Treaty at Wang-hea, on the 3rd of July, between 
China and the United States. From the duties of this service 
he was temporarily relieved on the departure of the expedition, 
in the end of August. On the exchange of treaties, at Pwan- 
tang, near Canton, on the last day of 1845, he was present 
as interpreter ; and subsequently acted as Charge d'affaires. 
His connection with the American Board ceased in 1847. On 
the arrival of the United States Commissioner Mr. Davis in 
August, 1848, he resigned his ofl&ce as Charg6 d'affaires, and 
continued Secretary and Chinese Interpreter to the Legation. 
Mr. Davis left China on the 24th of May, 1850, when Dr. 
Parker resumed the office of Charge. On the 27th of March, 
1853, he arrived at Shanghae with Commissioner Marshall, 
in the U. S. steamer Susquehanna. April 2nd, they started 
for Nanking, bnt were prevented by the shallowness of the 
water in the Yang-tsze, and returned to Shanghae on the 4th. 
On the 29th of April, he left in the Larriston steamer for 
Hongkong, whicli was wrecked at the mouth of the Min river 
near midnight on May 2nd ; he ultimately reached Hongkong 
in safety however. In 1854, having come to Shanghae with 
the newly arrived American minister, Mr. Maclane, he accom- 
panied him to the mouth of the Plh-ho river, where a joint 
application was made by the English and American ministers, 
to be allowed to discuss treaty matters in the capital. They 
remained from the 15th of October, till the 1 0th of November, 
during which period. Dr. Parker and Mr. Medhurst the 
English interpreter had repeated interviews with the authori- 
ties on shore. In the spring of 1855 he went to the United 
States, and while there, was appointed United States Commis- 
sioner, having in the meantime transferred th(3 management 
of his hospital to Dr. Kerr. The post of Commissioner he 
held till the year 1857, when he left China for his native land, 
where he has been since residing.

XXVII. EDWIN STEVENS was born at New Canaan, 
Connecticut, U. S. in the year 1802 ; and there received his 
early education. In 1824, he entered Yale College, and hav- 
ing completed a full course, passed with hi<]jh honours in 
1828. He then spent a year in Aurora, New York, as prin- 
cipal of an academy. Near the close of 1829, he returned to 
New Haven, and there joined the Theological Seminary. In 
1831 and following year he was a tutor in the college, la 
April, 1832, he accepted an appointment 'from the American 
Seaman's Friend Society, as their chaplain at the port of 
Canton. He was ordained a minister of the gospel at New 
Haven, on June 7th ; and on the 29th of the same month 
embarked at Philadelphia, for China, in the Morrison, reach- 
ing Canton on the 26th of October, and began his duties 
forthwith, among the seamen at Whampoa. On the 14th of" 
April, 1835, in company with Mr. Gutzlaff and Mr. G-ordon, 
he left Lintin in the brig Governor Findlay, on an expedition 
to visit the Bohea hills. On the 6th of May, they reached the 
mouth of the river Min in Fuh-keen ; up which they proceed- 
ed in the ship's boat. Having passed the provincial city, 
they had nearly reached the city of Min-tsing oq the 5th day, 
when being fired on from both sides of the river, they thought 
it prudent to return, and got back to the brig on the 13th, 
in which they made their way south to Macao. On the 26th 
of August, Mr. Stevens again embarked with Mr. Medhurst, 
in the Huron, for a cruise along the coast of China, in order 
to discover the facilities for tract distribution. From this 
tour they returned to Lintin on the 31st of October. In ac- 
cordance with an engagement he entered into before leaving 
America, Mr. Stevens connected himself with the American. 
Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions, in March, 1836, 
as a missionary to the Chinese. On the 3rd of December^ 
he left Macao in company with Mr. Tradescent Lay, in the 
Himmaleh, bound on a tour to Borneo, and the adjacent 
islands, to ascertain the openings for missionary operations 
They reached Singapore on the 15th, but there he was seizeA 
by intermittent fever, under the fatal grasp of which, he fin- 
ished his earthly career, January 5th, 1837. 

During his limited term of service, Mr. Stevens wi-ote a^ 
good deal for the periodical press. Some of his papers wera 
published in America ; and there are several very considerable

contributions from him in the Chinese Repository. Among 
the latter may be-named the Sketch of the Life and Labours 
of Dr. Milne, Vol. 1 ; Account of Formosa, Vol. 2 ; Obituary

XXVIII. ^ Leen, WILLIAM D^AN w^as born in the 
United States in 1807, and in due time ordained to the sacred 
office. In the spring of 1834, he was married to Matilda 
Coman ; and being appointed to Siam, in connection with the 
American Baptist Board of Foreign Missions, he embarked 
with Mrs. Dean at Boston, U. S. in the Cashmere, on July 
2nd, accompanied by a large party of missionaries for the 
East. On December 5th, they reached Amherst, where they 
remained a week ; and then starting with a reduced company, 
another week brought them to Penang. After remaining a 
few days with the missionaries there, they proceeded on their 
Voyage, and reached Singapore in four days. There they took 
leave of the Cashmere, in order to wait the change of the 
ruonsoon, and there Mrs. Dean died, March 5th, 1835, leaving 
an infant daughter. Shortly after his bereavement, Mr. Dean, 
accompanied by Mr. Jon^s of the same Society, having in 
tilieir charge George Boardman, a child of six years old, took 
a small China boat to go to the Cashmere, several miles out 
at sea, and then about to return to America, when they failed 
in finding the ship, were attacked by Malay pirates, Mr. Jones 
nearly drowned, and Mr. Dean dangerously wounded. Mr. 
Dean commenced the study of the Chinese language at Sin- 
gapore, and on the change of the monsoon, took passage in an 
-Arab ship for Bankok. In December of tliat year^ he organ- 
ized a church there, and baptized the first three Chinese 
oonvevts. About July, 1837, he was compelled by sickness 
"to take a voyage, and early in 1838 he visited Macao ; where 
lie was married to Miss Barker, a lady living in Mr. Gutzlaff's 
family, on the 27th of March. Soon after this, they returned 
"to Bankok and pursued the mission work, till, his health 
failing, they sailed for China in 1841, and arrived at Macao 
in 1842. There he left his family while he visited Amoy and 
Chusan. In the latter part of October, they removed to 
Eongkong, where Mrs. Dean died of smallpox on the 29th of 
Harch, 1843. Mr. Dean organized a new Chinese church in 
"that settlement, on the 28 th of May, and planted a new 
station for the class of Chinese speaking the Tie-chiu dialect. 
At the series of general meetings of missionaries, which took 
place that year at Hongkong from August 22nd to September

4th, Mr. Dean was always present. At the meeting of Augus' 
25th5 he was appointed with Dr. Bridgman, to confer on ren- 
dering the Greek word Baptizo into Chinese. They gave ii 
their report at the meeting of September 1st, to the effeo 
that they were not prepared to recommend any term ; upoi 
which it was resolved, to proceed in concert with the version 
each party supplying his own term, when the work should b< 
finished. About the end of 1844, Mr. Dean left Hongkonj 
for the United States, and returned in October, 1846, in th< 
Cohota, accompanied by the Eev. Messrs. Clopton, Pearcj 
and Jencks, with their wives. In September, 1848, he paid f 
short visit to Shanghae, went to Ningpo via Chapoo, and 
returned to Hongkong. On the 22nd of February, 1850, helefl 
in the U. S. Ship Plymouth, for Cochin-china and Siam, t< 
act as interpreter to H. E. Joseph Balestier, then on a missioi 
from the United States government. In 1851, he got the 
degree of D. D. from his native country; and in 1854 weni 
to America, having previously married a lady who had beer 
for some time in the Siam mission. The impaired state of hii 
health, preventing his return to China, he retired from hii 
connection with the Missionary Society in 1857. Eeturning 
vigour however having warranted his again entering the mis- 
sion field, he returned to Hongkong with Mrs. Dean and 
family .via Panama and California, in November, 1864, when 
he took occasion to visit Amoy and Swatow. Early in 18653 
he returned to his old station at Bankok, where he is mm 
labourins:

she was an inmate of the boarding school in Bracondale, kept 
by the nieces of Henry Kirke White, and enjoyed the society 
of the poet's mother. At the age of seventeen, she discovered

XXIX. HENRY LOCKWOOD, an ordained missionary, 

in connection with the Board of Foreign Missions of* the Pro- 
testant Episcoj)al Church in the United States, left America 
in 1835, and arrived at Canton in autumn, from which place 
he reached Batavia on the 23rd of December, in company with 
the Rev. Mr. Hanson. There he gave himself to the study of 
the Chinese language ; and having formed an acquaintance 
with the family of Mr. Medhurst, was married to his eldest 
daughter Sarah Sophia, on the 17th of February, 1836. From 
Mrs. Lockwood he learned the Malay language, and they en- 
gaged together in the superintendence of Chinese and Malay 
schools, but her brief career was terminated by death on the 
9th of August of the same year, Mr. Lockwood retired from 
the Chinese mission in 1838. By the latest accounts, he ap- 
l)ears to be now occupied as a missionary, at Pittsford, New 
York. 



XXX. FRANCIS R. HANSON, an ordained missionary 
connected with the Board of Foreign Missions of the Protes- 
tant Episcopal Church in the United States, arrived in Can- 
ton in the autumn of 1835, in company with Mr. Lockwood; 
with whom he reached Batavia on the 23rd of December. 
There he commenced the study of the Chinese language on

liis arrival, preparatory to future usefulness. His period of 
service however w.s too limited to admit of his doing much 
direct work, as his connection with the mission terminated in 
1837. According to the latest information, he is now Eector 
at Macon, Alabama. 



XXXI. EVAN DA VIES, ordained to the sacred office, 
was pastor of the Congregational church at Great Torrington 
in Devonshire. He afterwards left England as a missionary 
to the Chinese, in connection with the London Missionary 
Society, with Mrs. Davies, in the Duke of Sussex, accompa- 
nied by the Eev. S. Wolfe, on the 8th of May, 1835, and 
arrived at Penang, September 11th, where he relieved and 
succeeded Mr. Dyer. There he gave himself to the various 
departments of missionary work among the Chinese, having 
made some extensive tours, during the first year of his resi- 
dence, over the island, and on the main land of Queda oppo- 
site. But his chief efforts were given to the educational 
department, having established a boarding school for Chinese 
boys, who, besides the English language, were trained in the 
several branches of European instruction. Chiefly on account 
of declining health, he went to Singapore in the latter part of 
1839 ; there he embarked in September, in the Appoline, and 
arrived in London with his wife and children, on the 13th of 
February, 1840. He was soon after called to the pastorate 
of the Independent chapel at Richmond in Surrey.

became apparent ; and in the autumn of the following year, 
he repaired to Penang, with a view to the restoration of his 
energies, remaining there from the 23rd of August till the

end of the year, the American ship Himmaleh having arrived 
there on a missionary tour among the neighbouring islands, 
Mr. Wolfe was induced to take a passage in her for the bene- 
fit of his health. He was accompanied by Mr. Lay the Agent 
of the British and Foreign Bible Society, and Mr. Dickinson, 
an American missionary from Singapore. They left the 
last-named port on January 30th, 1837, reached the island 
of Temakeke on the 7th of February, and Macassar on 
the 10th, where they remained till March 6th. On the 7th, 
they touched at the isle of Eontain,* and that of Ternate on 
the 25th. About the 23rd of April, they reached Samboanga, 
a Spanish settlement on the southern coast of the island of 
Mindanao, and there Mr. Wolfe died of pulmonary consump- 
tion, on the 27th. He was buried the following day, by per- 
mission of the padre, in an old Campo Santo on the west side 
of the town. His grave is twelve feet to the west of some 
mango trees growing there.

married to Henrietta Hall on September 8 th, 1835. On the 
10th, he and the Eev. E. D. Davenport, with their companions, 
were set apart to their work, in tlie First Baptist Church,

for Boston, which they reached on the 16th, stopping at Bal- 
timore, Philadelphia and New York, on the way. On the 
22nd, they embarked in the Louvre, with a large company of 
missionaries on board, among whom were the Eev. A. and 
Mrs. Eeed, for the Chinese. They reached Kedgeree at the 
mouth of the Hoogley river, on the 4th of February following. 
Having landed some passengei-s for Calcutta, they set sail 
again on the 6th, and anchored at Amherst on the 20th. 
After spending a week at Maulmain, Mr. and Mrs. Shuck 
resumed their voyage in the Louvre, with a greatly diminished 
number of passengers. On the 15th of March, they touched 
at Penang, where they remained till the 20th, and reached 
Singapore on the 29th. There Mr. Shuck commenced the 
study of the Chinese language, and also gained some know- 
ledge of the Malay. In September, they reached Macao, where 
they settled, after Mr. Shuck had paid a ten days visit to 
Canton. In the latter part of May, 1838, he took a trip to 
Hongkong, on account of his health. In November, he visited 



JEHU LEWIS SHUCK. 91 

Canton; from which he was recalled, on account of his wife's 
dangerous illness. The following summer, he paid a short visit 
to Hongkong with his family. Hearing of the failure of the 
agents of the Missionary. Board with which he was connected, 
in the beginning of 1842, he felt it necessary to seek some 
means of temporarily supplying the consequent deficiency ; and 
engaged himself for a time, as joint editor of the "Friend of 
China *' newspaper at Hongkong, where he removed with his 
family in March. This did not however prevent him following 
his missionary pursuits, for, having raised subscriptions in the 
foreign community, he built two chapels in Hongkong, formed 
a school, and preached statedly on the Sundays, in Chinese 
and English. At the series of general meetings of missionaries 
which took place in 1843 at Hongkong, regarding the trans- 
lation of the Scriptures, Mr. Shuck was present at all but the 
first, on August 22nd. Cn occasion of the birth of her fourth 
son Henrie Fuller, Mrs. Shuck finished her earthly course on 
the 27th of November, 1844. Mr. Shuck was under the 
necessity of sending his two eldest children to the United 
States, early in 1845. With the others he removed to Can- 
ton in the beginning of April, and embarked in the Tonquin 
on the 21st of October, for New York. In' October 1846, he 
was married to Lizzie Sexton in Alabama, and having trans- 
ferred his connection to the Board of Foreign Missions of the 
Southern Baptist Convention, he returned to Hongkong with 
Mrs. Shuck in August, 1847, accompanied by the Revs. Messrs. 
Tobey and Yates of the same mission, with their wives. 
Thence they removed to Shanghae, as their permanent station 
the same year. A committee of delegates for translating the 
Old-Testament into Chinese having been appointed, in the 
summer of 1850, Mr. Shuck was chosen as one of those for 
Shanghae. The work of translation was commenced there early 
in August, and he continued to attend the meetings of com- 
mittee during that and the following year. In November, 1851 
Mrs. Shuck died in giving birth to a child. Not very long after 
that, he returned to his native land, where he married a third 
wife. In 1854, he received an appointment from the Baptist 
Missionary Board at Richmond, as a missionary to the Chinese 
at California, where he remained till about 1859, and even- 
tually died in South Carolina in 1863.

Henrietta* Hall, daughter of the Eev. Addison Hall, 
uras born at Kilmarnock in Virgina, October 26th, 1817, the 
eldest of six children. In her fourteenth year, she was placed 
in Mrs. Little's school at Fredericksburg, where she was diligent 
and exemplary". She was converted in August, 1831, at a 
Baptist camp meeting in Lancaster county ; and on the 2nd of 
September was baptized by the Rev. J. B. Jeter, pastor 
of the Morattico Baptist church. Having been married to 
Mr. Shuck on the 8th of September, 1835, her fortunes were 
closely united with his till the day of her death, assisting liim 
in his labours, and sympathizing in his joys and sorrows. Sho 
died on November 27th, 1844, and was buried in the Protestant 
cemetery at Hongkong.

XXXIV. ALANSON KEED was born at Cummington 
in Massachusetts on June 21st, 1807. When about twenty 
years of age, he gave his heart to God, and from the time of 
his conversion, he had strong desires, and a determination, if 
possible, to devote his life to the service of Christ among the 
heathen. But he was the youngest and favourite child of a 
widowed mother, whom he loved with uncommon ardour, and 
she was not willing that he should expose himself to the priva- 
tions and trials of a missionary's life. On her account, he re- 
pressed for a season, his strong desire to enter immediately on 
a course of preparation for the work, and waited with the hope 
that Providence would make his path plainer. But after two 
or three years spent on a farm, he began to feel that his youth 
was wearing away, and that he must enter without delay on 
the path he had chosen. He accordingly commenced study- 
ing for the ministry, at Hamilton Theological Seminary, and 
subsequently spent all the wealth of which he was possessed 
to make comfortable provision for his beloved parent ; but she 
died before his studies were completed in 1835. His mind 
having been for some time directed towards China, ho was or- 
dained with a view to that sphere of labour, in connection with 
the American Baptist Board of Foreign Missions. On the 
22nd of September in the above-named year, he sailed with 
his wife from Boston in the Louvre, accompanied by Mr. and 



94 ISSACHAR JACOX ROBERTS. 

Mrs. Shuck, and a large party of missionaries, reached Ked- 
geree on February 4th, 1836, Amherst on the 20th, Penangon 
the 15th of March, and Singapore on the 29th; whence 
he removed to Bankok in July following. There he made 
very encouraging progress with the language during his short 
remaining life, but was much interrupted by sickness ; and at 
length on the 29th of August, 1837, he was cut down in the 
prime of life, and found a grave in Siam. He left a widow 
and infant son, the latter of whom died shortly after, on\the 
voyage to America. 



XXXV. JAMES T. DICKINSON, an ordained mission- 
ary, in connection with the American Board of Commissioners 
for Foreign Missions, arrived at Singapore in the early part of 
1836. There he was engaged in the preparatory department 
of the Chinese mission, when the American ship Himmaleh 
arrived from China, bound on a missionary tour among the 
islands; and the Eev. Mr. Stevens who was in the expedition, 
dying at Singapore, Mr. Dickinson was appointed to take his 
place. The vessel left that port on the 30th of January, 1837, 
and on reaching the island of Temakeke, he was deputed with 
Mr. Lay on the 10th of February, to go to Macassar for a 
pilot, and there they remained till the 6th of March, having 
an opportunity in the interim, of distributing a good many 
copies of the Scriptures, Chinese and Malay. They touched 
at Bontain, Ternate, Samboanga, — where their fellow pas- 
senger Mr. Wolfe found a final resting place, — and at Borneo, 
returning to Singapore towards the end of June. There Mr. 
Dickinson continued to labour till 1840, when his connection 
with the Board came to an end. He was afterwards a teacher 
in the Singapore Institution for three years. 

There are several contributions from Mr. Dickinson in the 
Chinese Eepository. 



XXXVI. m^.^Ld HeaCu-tseiien. ISSACHAR JA- 
COX EGBERTS was bom in Sumner county, Tennessee, 
on February 17th, 1802. He was admitted a member of the 
Baptist church, in Bedford county, Massachusetts, in 1821. 
On January 4th, 1830, he was married, in Georgia, but Mrs. 
Roberts died the following year. He was ordained to the 
ministry, on April 27th, 1833; and left the United States, as 
a missionary for China, about the beginning of 1837, in con- 
nection with a special association termed the Roberts Fund 
Society, arriving at Macao on the 1st of May. Some time 
afterwards he connected himself with the American Baptist 
Board of Foreign Missions, and was the first missionary to

settle in Hongkong, where he located himself in 1842. At 
the series of general meetings of missionaries, which were held 
there in 1843, regarding the translation of the Scriptures, he 
was present at all but the last two, on September 1st and 4th. 
During that month, he embarked on a voyage to Chusan, 
but being driven back by adverse winds, the vessel put in at 
Amoy ; which place he left after a short stay, on October 9 th 
in a lorcha, with the Kev. W. M. Lowrie, for Hongkong, and 
reached that port on the 14th. May 15th, 1844, he took up 
his residence in Canton, where he adopted the Chinese cos- 
tume, and opened a Chinese chapel. It was while at that 
station, in 1847, that Hung Sew-tseuen, afterwards so famous 
as the insurgent chief Tae-ping wang, visited him, and re- 
mained a few weeks under his instruction; but withdrew with- 
out receiving the ordinance of baptism, in consequence of Mr. 
Eoberts wishing to postpone the rite. On August 21st, that 
year, Mr. Roberts relinquished his connection with his Board, 
and joined the Board of Missions of the Southern Baptist 
Convention. In the middle of January, 1848, he went to 
Macao, and returned to Canton in April. In February, 1849, 
he left for a visit to his native land, where he was married, 
embarked again with Mrs. Roberts in April, 1850, and arrived 
at Canton, August 12th. On October 8th, 1851, his connec- 
tion with the Baptist Board ceased. During a visit to Hong- 
kong in September, 1852, he learned from the , Rev. Mr. 
Hamberg, that the latter had been recently visited by a native 
from the interior, who had left some important documents in 
his possession. On examining these, Mr. Roberts discovered, 
that Hung Sew-tseuen his former disciple, had become the 
head of a great religious and revolutionary movement in the 
West of China, all which he detailed at length in a letter to 
the Chinese and General Missionary Gleaner, dated October 
6th, 1852. The native from the interior was Hung Jin, after- 
wards distinguished as the Kan-wang or Shield King, the 
second in power at Nanking. A few days after the capture 
of Nanking by the insurgents, a messenger appeared in Can- 
ton, purporting to be from Nanking, with a letter addressed 
to Mr. Roberts, inviting him to come to that capital, and 
bring a number of brethren with him, to help to propagate 
the gospel. This reached Mr. Roberts on May 11th, 1853, 
and he left Canton accordingly on July 5th, embarked at 
Hongkong on the 13th, taking with him the second son of 
Fung Yun-san, the Southern King, and his cousin A-shu, 
and reached Shanghae on the 30th. From various retarding 
causes, however, the difficulty of getting to Nanking from 
that city being the principal one, he was obliged to defer his 
project; and after remaining there fifteen months, he left for 
the United States. He returned to China via San Francisco

and Panama, arriving at Canton in the beginning of 1856, 
unconnected with any society, the necessary funds being raised 
by voluntary contributions. On the outbreak of the troubles 
in the end of 1856, he was obliged to leave with tj;ie other 
foreigners, and went to reside for a time at Hongkong, return- 
ing to his old station at Canton about the end of 1858. In 
the latter part of 1860 the way seemed to be opening up, the 
insurgents having captured Soo-chow and the principal cities 
between that and Nanking; when Mr. Eoberts again arrived 
in Shanghae about the beginning of September, and made his 
way up to Soo-chow by about the middle of the month. There 
he was introduced on the 22nd to Ghung-wang, or the Faith- 
ful King, the Commander in chief of that place, who treated 
him with much friendship, and sent an escort with him to 
Nanking. Leaving Soo-chow on October 4th, they reached 
the capital on the 13th. There Mr. Eoberts was well received, 
had apartments assigned him, and was invested by the Prince 
as Minister for Foreign Affairs, which honour Mr. Roberts 
declined. After remaining there however, more than fifteen 
months, he left them on the 20th of January, 1862, thorough- 
ly disgusted with their proceedings, returned to Shanghae and 
thence to Canton. The following year he again paid a visit 
to Shanghae and Soo-chow, while the latter city was still in 
the hands of the insurgents. After that he returned to Can- 
ton, where he now remains occupied with his missionary 
pursuits.

retired from the service in 1838, on account of ill health.

XXXIX. H # id Ch'e, ELIHU DOTY, an ordained 
minister of the Dutch Eeformed*Church in the United States 
was married to Clarissa D. Ackley of Litchfield, with whom he 
left New York, in the beginning of June, 1836, as a mission- 
ary to the Chinese, in connection with the American Board of 
Commissioners for Foreign Missions, and reached Batavia in 
September. There he remained for a time and learned the Fuh- 
keen Chinese dialect. In the autumn of 1838 he was at Singa- 
pore, where he embarked on October 15th, in company with the 
Eev. W. J. Pohlman, in a native schooner for Sambas in 
Borneo, in order to make an exploratory missionary tour. They 
reached that port on the 30th, and after a wearisome journey 
across the country, arrived at Pontianak late on the 24th of 
November. There, learning that a vessel was just about start- 



98 ELraU DOTY. 

ing for Singapore, they took passage and sailed on the 27th. 
The following year he returned to Pontianak, and took up his 
residence, with the intention of establishing a Christian school 
and mission, for which he had obtained the sanation of tljiB Dutch 
government. In the summer of 1844 he removed to Amoy, 
where he arrived on the 22nd of June; and there Mrs. Doty 
died on October 5th, 1845, leaving two daughters. With these 
Mr. Doty left Amoy November 12th, embarked at Hongkong 
towards the end of the year, and arrived in the United States 
in the early part of 1845. While in his native land, he mar- 
ried a second time, and returned to Amoy with Mrs. Doty in 
August, 1847. But in little more than ten years he was again 
a widower ; for his wife died on February 28th, 1858. The 
same year, he seems to have dissolved his connection with the 
American Board, and become an agent of the Board of Foreign 
Missions of the Dutch Keformed Church in the United States. 
Having visited his native land shortly after, he returned to 
China with the Kev. K. S. Maclay about the year 1861, and 
again settled at Amoy. Length of service however had so 
exhausted his system, that he found it necessary to retire again 
about the end of 1864, when he left Amoy and embarked at 
Hongkong soon after for America ; but died on the voyage five 
days before reaching New York.

XL. ELBERT NEVIUS, an ordained minister of the 
Dutch Reformed Church in the United States, left New York 
■with Mrs. Nevius, in the beginning of June, 1836, as a mis- 
sionary lo the Chinese, in connection with the American 
Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions, accompanied by 
Mr. Doty and other missionaries. They reached Batavia in 
September, where he remained for a time, studying the Chinese 
language. He was afterwards associated with Mr. Doty in 
Borneo, which place he was obliged to leave, on account of his 
health in 1843. He tried the effect of a visit to Macao, and 
afterwards went to the NeUgherry hills, but all proving in- 
sufficient to reinvigorate him, he returned to the United States 
in 1845. Since his return, he has had the pastoral charge of 
a congregation of the Dutch Reformed Church, in the eastern 
part of the state of New York. 



XLI. 3!t Wan. WILLIAM JONES BOONE was con- 
verted to the truth, while a law student at Charleston in South 
Carolina, during a season of revival in the winter of 1833-4, 
being then about twenty one years of age ; soon after which 
he removed to Philadelphia. At the first meeting of the 
newly-organized Board of Foreign Missions of the Protestant 
Episcopal Church in 1835, a mission to China was deter- 
mined on, and his mind was immediately drawn to this open- 
ing as a field of duty for himself. He was about concluding 
his seminary course at Alexandria, and having offered himself, 
was accepted by the Foreign Committee for the Chinese mis- 
sion. To prepare himself for this sphere, he commenced the 
study of medicine, and graduated as M. D. He was married 
to Sarah Amelia De Saussure of South Carolina/ and being 
ordained to the ministry of the gospel, left the United 
States with Mrs. Boone in 1836. They reached Batavia in the 
early part of 1837, and settled there for a time, where he com- 
menced his missionary labours ampng the Chinese. In 1840, he 
left Java on account of his health, and took up his residence at 
Macao in November. There he and Mrs. Boone, together with 
the Kev. W. C. Milne rendered important service, in conducting 
the school of the Morrison Education Society, during the 
absence of Mr. Brown, from April 1st to September 10th, 
1841. In company with Mr. Abeel, he left Macao on the 
2nd of February, 1842, in a lorcha for Hongkong, from which 
place they sailed in the Australian Packet on the 7th, and 
reached the island of Koo-lang sen by Amoy, on the 24th. On 
the lOth of April, Mr. Boone left to return to Macao, for the 
purpose of removing his family to Amoy ; on June 7th, and 
arrived with Mrs. Boone and their two children at Koo-lang- 
seu, accompained by Mr. and Mrs. MacBryde and Dr. Cvwcci- 



100 WILLIAM JONES BOONE. 

ming. On the 20thof Au^st, Mrs. Boone was attacked with 
the prevailing fever, and died on the 30th. On February 
10th, 1843, Mr. Boone left with his children for Macao^ 
and sailed from that place on March Ist, 1843, for the 
United States. While in his native land, he received the 
degree of D. D., and was consecrated Missionary Bishop for 
China in 1844; he married a second time, and embarking with 
Mrs. Boone on the 14th of December, reached Hongkong on 
the 24th of April, 1845, accompanied by Mr. and Mrs. Wood, 
Mr. and Mrs. Graham, and three single ladies for the same 
mission. On the 24th of May he and Mrs. Boone embarked 
in the Alligator for Shanghae, accompanied by Misses Jones 
and Morse, and the Rev. G. Smith, and reached their destina- 
tion on June 16th. When the Committee of Delegates were 
appointed to meet in Shanghae, for the translation of the 
New Testament, he was chosen, together with Dr. Medhurst, 
to represent Shanghae. The Committee met on July 1st, 
1847, at the house of Dr. Medhurst, but on the 5th, Drs. 
Boone and Bridgman brought forward an objection against 
the term used for the name of God, in the C02)y prepared by 
one of the local committees.- This gave rise to a controversy, 
in which the Bishop took a most prominent part, and which 
reached no unanimous result. Ill health prevented him 
attending the committee after the first few; days, till the con- 
clusion of its labours in July, 1850. He was again elected a 
delegate for Shanghae, in the Committee which met for the 
translation of the Old Testament in August of that year, and 
continued till the 12th of February, 1851, when consequent 
upon some changes in the committee the Bishop, in concert 
with other missionaries, commenced a new translation. On the 
31st of January, 1852, Mrs. Boone left for New York on ac- 
count of her health, and he followed her the same year. They 
returned to Shanghae with their two children, by the Gravina, 
accompanied by Mr. J. T. Points of the same mission, arriving 
at that station, April 13th, 1854. On account of failing 
health, he took his family to the United States in 1857, and 
embarked at New York on his return, with a large party of 
new missionaries, on July 13th, 1859, arriving at Shanghae 
on December 22nd. When the Kev. J. Hobson, British Chap-

Singapore with Mrs. Squire, towards the end of 1837, as a 
missionary to the Chinese, in connection with the Church of 
England Missionary Society. Being the first agent of the 
Society in that sphere, his special commission was to ascertain 
what openings existed for the establishment of a mission. 
Soon after his arrival, he become joint secretary with the Rev. 
J. Stronach, of the Singapore Tract and Book Society. In 
the latter part of 1838, he removed to Macao, where he re- 
mained till August, 1839; but in consequence of threatening 
danger from the Chinese, he then took his departure, with 
liis wife and children, along with most of the British residents 
there. In 1840, he left China, on account of the delicate 
state of Mrs. Squire's health, and terminated his connection 
vrith the mission the following year. He was afterwards 
Vicar of Swansea in South Wales.

A. D. 1800, and having been ordained to the ministry, left 
England with Mrs. Slronach, in the Broxbournbury, on the 
7th of August, 1 837, as a missionary to the Chinese, in con- 
nection with the London Missionary Society. On the 12th of 
December, he arrived at Calcutta, but was detained there 
nearly six weeks, and embarked on the 22nd of January, 
1838, in the Brigand, reaching Penang on the 17th of February. 
There he remained seven days, and on the 2nd of March 
touched at Malacca, arriving at Singapore on the 5th. Ha- 
ving spent some time there in the study of the Chinese 
language and other preparatory work, the following year he 
went to succeed Mr. Davies at Penang, where he arrived on 
the 14th of August, and commenced his labours among the 
Chinese settlers, preaching and superintending the schools, 
besides conducting a regular English service. In accordance 
with instructions from the directors, he went to Hongkong in 
1843, where he arrived on the 7th of August, to attend the 
conference of missionaries of the Society that month, and was 
also present at all the meetings of the general convention of 
•missionaries which took place there, regarding the translation , 
of the Scriptures, from August 22nd to September 4th; after 
which he returned to Penang for a time. In June, 1844, he 
removed with his family to Singapore, and took charge of the 
China mission after the Rev. J. Stronach and Mr. Young 
had left; continuing also the type founding, which had been 
left incomplete by Mr. Dyer. On the 1st of May, 1846, hav- 
ing previously closed the affairs of the Chinese department of 
the mission there, he embarked with his family for Hongkong, 
where he arrived on the 6th of the following month, taking

with liim the printing press formerly at Malacca^ the greater 
part of the type, the type-founding apparatus, and several or 
the printers. At Hongkong he continued as at Singapore, to 
superintend the type foundry, and also assisted the Bev. W. 
Gillespie of the same mission, by undertaking the English ser- 
vices. After the arrival of the Rev. J. F. Clelandat the close 
of August, he proceeded to Amoy as his permanent station. 
Towards the end of November, 1847, Mrs. Stronach left with 
her three children and embarked in the Monarch at Hongkong 
for England accompanied by the Rev. W. Gillespie. On her 
return to Amoy in the spring of 1850, she cooperated with 
Mr. Stronach in carrying on a boarding school he had establish- 
ed, in which the boys were instructed in the Chinese and English 
languages. In this institution which he continued till 1860, 
he received much encouragement from the progress and 
demeanour of the pupils. He still continues his labours in the 
mission work at that station.

nistry, he left England with Mrs. Stronach, in company with 
Mr. A. Stronach, on tlie 7th of August, 1837, as a mission- 
ary to the Chinese, imder the auspices of the London Mission- 
ary Society, On the 5th of March, 1838, he reached Singa- 
pore, his destined station, where he commenced the study of 
the Chine.se and Malay languages. On the 30th of that 
month, the Singapore Tract and Book Society was organized, 
when he was appointed one of the secretaries. In conjunction 
with his brothpr. he was instrumental in establishing an

Sngiish week-day service, a Sunday school for ^the children of 
esident Europeans, and a Malay girls' school, which was 
aken under the care of Mfb. Stronach. The following year, 
le undertook the superintendence of the Chinese classes in 
he Singapore Institution, and commenced public preaching 
D the Full-keen dialect on August 10th. In 1843, he left 
lingapore for Hongkong, where he arrived on the 7th of 
Lugust, to attend the conference of missionaries of the London 
iociety that month; and was also present at all the meetings 
f the general missionary convention, regarding the transla- 
ion of the Scriptures, from August 22nd to September 4th. 
le afterwards returned to Singapore, which he finally quitted 
rilth his family, accompanied by Mr. and Mrs. Young, in the 
ummer of 1844, and reached Amoy on July 8th. There he 
ras able to open a chapel for public preaching on the 1st of 
)ecember, and continued his work in harmonious cooperation 
Tith. the American brethren. The failure of Mrs. Stronach's 
.ealth however soon demanded a change, and leaving Amoy 
n November 12th, 1845, she embarked at Hongkong with 
ler four children on the 20th for England, accompanied by 
he Rev. Dr. Legge; but before reaching her native land, she 
lied at sea, on the 7th of March. 1846. Having been engaged 
ince the end of 1844, on the revision of the portion of the 
Jew Testament allotted to Amoy, he was elected by the 
>rethren there, as their representative in the Committee of 
Delegates to be convened at Shanghae. Accordingly he pro- 
seeded to that station in May, 1847, and took his place at 
:he opening meeting on the 1st of July; continuing uninter- 
ruptedly till the completion of the New Testament, about the 
jnd of July, 1850. He was afterwards elegted to fill the same 
post in the Committee which met for the translation of the 
Old Testament, in August following, and worked with them 
till the 12th of February, 1851. He then withdrew from 
that committee, and continued the work in concert with Dr. 
Medhurst and the Rev. W. C. Milne, under the auspices of the 
London Missionary Society, till the whole was completed in the 
spring of 1853. During his residence at Shanghae, he opened 
a small chapel, and preached daily to the Ffth-keen men there 
in their own dialect, a work which was not without good result. 
When he had completed his translatorial labours at Shanghae 
he returned to Amoy early in 1853, where he has since been 
occupied with his mission duties.

sions of the Presbyterian Church, left the United States with 
Mrs. Orr on December 9th, 1837, and arrived at Singapore 
April 5th, 1838, one of the first missionaries to the Chinese 
in connection with that board. He visited Malacca, Penang 
and Province Wellesly, and afterwards went to Siam, where 
he arrived October 25th, 1838, to explore the field with a view 
to missionary enterprise. He returned to Singapore December 
22nd, 1839, soon after which, on account of failing health, 
he made a visit to the Neilgherry Hills in India ; but that did 
not restore him, and in 1840, he embarked for the United 
States. His connection with the mission ceased in 1841. 



XLVI. JOHN A. MITCHELL was ordained to the 
ministry of the gospel, and appointed a missionary to the 
Chinese by the Board of Foreign Missions of the Presbyterian 
Church. He left the United States on December 9th, 1837, 
in company with Mr. and Mrs. Orr, and arrived at Singapore 
on April 5th, 1838. His missionary career however was but 
of short duration, for he died on the 2nd of October, the same 
year. 

XL VII. ^JiM^o Nae-yay. DYER BALL was born 
at West Boylston, Massachusetts, June 3rd, J796. In his early 
years, his father removed with his family to Shutesbury ; and 
during his minority, Dyer was engaged in agricultural pur- 
Suits. Under the patronage of the American Education 
Society, he commenced his classical studies at Phillips' Aca- 
demy, Andover, in 1822, wliere he spent two years ; and 
another year was passed in two academic schools in the vici- 
nity of Amherst College. After this he continued his collegiate 
studies at Yale College, and attended lectures in New Haven 
Theological School. The latter part of his course however 
\iras interrupted by ill health, which made it advisable for 
hira to si)end the winter months at the South. In 1827, he 
\yas married to Lucy Mills of New Haven. In 1828, he gra- 
duated as A. B. at Union College; and the same year he was 
licensed to preach, by an association of clergymen in Con- 
necticut. Soon after this he went to St. Augustine in Flo- 
rida, at which place and Charleston, he spent two or three 
years teaching and preaching. In the spring of 1831, he was 
ordained an evangelist, by an association that met at Shutes-

bury. Having been appointed to Tallahassee in Florida, by the 
American Home Missionary Society, he spent about two years 
in that vicinity; after wliich he rt^turne^l to Ch-irlesron with 
his family, and there commenced the study of medicine. In 

1836, he graducted as A. M. at Union College; and was ad- 
mitted a member of the Union Presbytery. In the spring of 

1837, he graduated as M. D.; and having been appointed a 
missionary to the Chinese, by the American Board of Com- 
missioners, he left for New York, expecting then to embark 
for Singapore. The state of the Society's finances however 
occasioned some delay, and he spent the following winter 
among friends in the north; at the same time supplying two 
pulpits, which happened to be vacant. Having obtained the 
loan of De Guigne's Chinese Latin and French Dictionary 
from Yale College, Mrs. Ball copied out the Chinese charac- 
ters, and the Dr. translated the Latin and French into English; 
a work which occupied them about three or four months. In 
May, 1838, they embarked at New York in the Albion, and 
reached Singapore in the autumn. There he was successfully 
employed for a time in preaching, printing tracts, and atten- 
ding to the sick; while Mrs. Bail instructed a school of Chinese 
girls. In 1841, in consequence of her health, Dr. Ball found 
it necessary to remove to Macao. In 1843, he took his 
family to Hongkong, where he resumed his missionary labours, 
by superintending the Chinese printing, administering medi- 
cine to the sick, and conducting religious services with the 
natives. At the series of general meetings of missionaries 
held at Hongkong, regarding the translation of the Scriptures, 
he was present on three occasions, August 22nd, 24th and 
25th. Mrs. Ball cooperated with him in his efforts, till a few 
days before her death, which took place there on June 6th, 
1844. Her two little boys soon followed her to the grave. 
In June, 1845, Dr. Ball paid a temporary visit to Canton, 
and on the 29th of August, removed there with his family, 
where he opened a dispensary, established a school, and en- 
gaged in public preaching to the natives. In 1846, he was 
married to Miss. Johnston. In March, 1854, he left Canton 
with Mrs. Ball, made a short stay in Great Britain and 
visited America, where he remained till towards the end of 
1856. He then reembarked for China, which he reached in 
May, 1857; but hostilities having commenced at Canton, he 
remained at Macao till November, 1858, when he returned to 
his old station at the provincial capital, and has been residing 
there ever since.

interesting miscellany, religious and scientific. The issue for 
1846 has 92 leaves and 3 folding plates, and includes the 
English, American and French treaties with China. That 
for 1847 has 66 leaves and 2 folding plates. In consequence 
of deficiency of funds, the number for 1848 is on a very reduced 
scale, both as to the size of the page, and the quantity of 
matter, being comprised in 20 leaves, with a folding map of 
the world. The number for 1849 is almost the same in size 
and matter, containing 19 leaves and a map of the world. 
The issue for 1850 has 20 leaves and a folding map. In this 
the large-sized page is again adopted. That for 1851 has 24 
leaves and 2 folding maps. The one for 1852 has 20 leaves 
and a folding map. That of 1853 has 19 leaves. After 1854, 
Dr. Ball resigned the work for a time, which was carried on by 
Mr. French, under the title f Q '^ ^ ^ Sd ho fung shoo. 
Dr. Ball resumed the publication for 1859, which contains 27 
leaves and 2 folding plates. The last number by the same 
compiler was that for 1860, which contains 20 leaves and 2 
folding plates. Since that the work has been continued up to 
1865 by the Kev. D. Vrooman, under the title J§ # % ^ j||

and other missionaries. Mrs. Wood died the same year at 
Singapore; and he retired from connection with the Chinese 
Mission, returning to America in 1840. He was afterwards 
married a second time, and joined the Armenian mission un- 
der the same board, being stationed at Bebek by Constanti- 
nople. He was obliged however to go to the United States 
in 1851, on account of his wife's health, and in 1853, his 
connection with that Mission appears to have ceased. Since 
that time he has received the degree of D. D. and is now 
Home Secretary to tlie American Board in New York. 

"We do not hear of any publications by Dr. Wood, but in 
the Report of the mission for 1848, the committee complain 
of being unable to print a Book on Theology by him, for want 
of funds. 



XLIX. WILLIAM JOHN POHLMAN, an ordained 
minister of the Dutch Reformed Church in the United States, 
was married to Theodosia R. Scudder, the sister of Dr. 
Scudder the missionary to India. He left New York with 
Ik^s. Pohlman, accompanied by Dr. Ball and Mr. Wood, and 
arrived at Singapore in 1838, having been appointed a mis- 
sionary to the Chinese, in connection with the American Board 
of Commissioners for Foreign Missions. On the 15th of 
October in the same year, he took passage in a native schooner 
with Mr. Doty, for Sambas in Borneo, where they arrived on 
the 30th; thence they made their way overland to Pontianak, 
which they reached on the 24th of November, and embarked 
there on the 27th to return to Singapore. After a temporary 
residence at the latter settlement, he removed with his family 
to Pontianak, where he spent some years among the Chinese 
population, making occasional excursions into the interior. 
In 1844, he went with Mr. Doty to Amoy, where they arrived 
with their families on June 22nd. On the 30th of September 
Mrs. Pohlman entered into her rest, leaving three children, 
one an infant daughter of nine days. In November, 1845, ho 
made an excursion to Chang-chow city, with Mr. Hedde, one 
of the French commercial delegates. In the summer of 1846, 
he found it necessary to go to Canton for two or three months 
for medical aid, and returned to Amoy in September. In 
April, 1848, his sister arrived at Amoy to stay with him, and 
in December he left Amoy to accompany her to Hongkong for 
the benefit of her health ; intending to remain there only a few 
days, and then return to assist in dedicating the church lately 
built by the mission. He embarked at Hongkong on board 
the Omega, on January 2nd ; on the 5th the vessel was wrecked 
on Breaker Point, and Mr. Pohlman was drowned by the cap- 
sizing of the boat, in which a party were attempting to land. 



112 WILLIAM LOCKHART. 

There are several cgntributions by Mr. Pohlman, in the 15tb, 
16th and 17th volumes of the Chinese Repository. 



L. U il ^ ^o Wei lift. WILLIAM LOCKHART was 
horn at Liverpool, October 3, 1811. In early life, having at- 
tended the medical courses at Meath Hospital in Dublin, and 
<xuy's Hospital in London, he passed his examinations at 
Apothecaries' Hall in 1833, and graduated as M. R. C. 8. 
1834. After that he was appointed House Surgeon to the Dis- 
pensary at Liverpool ; and subsequently became assistant to 
a practitioner near that city. Having been appointed medical 
missionary to the Chinese, by the London Missionary Society, 
he left Gravesend in company with Mr. Medhurst and family 
in the George the Fourth, July 31st, 1838, and anived at 
Batavia about the middle of November. Towards the close of^ 
January 1839, he reached Canton, and having offered his ser- 
vices to the Medical Missionary Society, was appointed to the 
charge of their hospital at Macao, which was first opened by 
Dr. Parker, during three months of the previous summer. 
After nearly six weeks spent at Canton studying the language, 
he went to Macao on a visit on February 28 th, but while 
there, political complications arose which prevented his return- 
ing, and he commenced operations in the hospital on July Ist; 
which were discontinued on the 21st of August, in consequence 
of the departure of British residents from that settlement. In 
prospect of the protracted interruption of friendly intercourse 
between the British and Chinese, he left the country on the 
7th of September for Batavia, where he continued the study 
of the language under Mr. Medhurst. In May, 1840, he re- 
turned to Macao and reopened the hospital on August Ist. 
Shortly before this time, Drs. Hobson and Diver had arrived, 
and the hospital at Macao being placed under their charge, 
Mr. Lockhart proceeded at the end of August to the city oF 
Ting-hae in the island of Chusan, then occupied by the English 
troops, where he opened a hospital for the benefit of the 14a- 
tives, from September 13th, 1840, till February 22nd, 1841. 
In consequence of the evacuation of Chusan by the British 
government, he left the island on the 24th of February and 
arrived at Macao on the 16th of the following month ; where 
he was sooq after married to Catherine Parkes. When 
the treaty of Nanking was settled in 1842, he went to Hong- 
kong, where he was detained till the spring of 1843, superin- 
tending in the interval the building of the Medical Missionary 
Society's hospital in that colony. He arrived at Chusan on 
the 13th of June, and after a few days, leaving Mrs. Lockhart 
there, accompanied the Rev. W. C. Milne to Ningpo, and re- 
mained till July 7th, when the latter started on his journey 



WILLIAM LOOKHART. 113 

through the interior to Canton, and Mr. Lockhart returned tq 
Chusan, where he again opened a hospital. On the 8th of 
November, he went up to.Shanghae for a visit, returning to 
Chusan on the 20th. He again left the island in company 
with Dr. Medhurst, who visited Chusan on his way up from 
Hongkong ; and after a short trip to Ningpo, arrived at Shang- 
hae about the middle of December. Returning temporarily 
to Ting-hae, he closed the hospital in the middle of January, 
1844, and taking Mrs. Lockhart with him to Shanghae, com- 
menced another there about the middle of February. In 1846, 
he opened a new and commodious building, by subscriptions 
raised chiefly on the spot, where he continued to prosecute his 
benevolent labours, during the subsequent years of his resi- 
ience in Shanghae, On March 8th, 1848, he was exposed 
bo a murderous attack by a party of junk men at Tsing-poo 
bhirty miles from Shanghae, and narrowly escaped with his 
ife. In consequence of ill health, Mrs. Lockhart returned to 
England, with her children in 1852, where they arrived on the 
1st of May. In the beginning of December, 1857, Mr. Lock- 
tiart left Shanghae for his native land, and proceeding via 
Egypt and Paris, reached England on the 29th of January, 
1858. While there he was made F. K. C. S. of London. He 
remained till the beginning of June, 1861, and then returned 
bo C/hina by the Egypt route, reaching Hongkong on the 22nd 
of July, and Shanghae on August 9th ; which place he left for 
Teen-tsin on the 30th in the steamer Fei-loong, and arrived at 
Peking in September. There he established a hospital, com- 
menced a mission station, and remained till the spring of 
1864, when he went south to Shanghae, made a hasty visit to 
Hankow in April, returned to Shanghae, took a trip over to 
Japan in May, vkited Yokohama and Yedo, and again return- 
ing to Shanghae in the beginning of June, embarked by the 
first mail packet for Europe on the 6th of that month, reach- 
ing England August 14th ; where he has since been actively 
engaged advocating the cause of Chinese missions.

■■ LI. ^U ^ Kaou'tih. JOSIAH GODDARD, son of the 
Rev. David Goddard, was born at Wendell, Massachusetts, 
October 27th, 1813. In 1826 he became imbued with the 
Christian's hope, and in May, 1831, he was admitted a member 
of the Baptist communion by immersion, in connection 
with the church of which his father was the pastor. He 
finished his studies at Brown University in 1835, and after- 
wards passed a course of training at Newton Theological In- 
stitution, which he left in 1838, and was ordained to the work 
of the ministry in the following September. In December or 
the same year, he sailed for the East with Mrs. Goddard, as a 

missionarj^ to the Chinese, under the American Baptist Board 

of Foreign Missions, and landed at Singapore in June, 1839 

After a short stay there, he proceeded to Bankok his destinedJi 
station, where he landed October 16th, 1840. In 1842, he^ 
succeeded Mr. Dean as pastor of the first Chinese church^ 
there. In 1848, after a severe bleeding of the lungs which-^ 
threatened his life, he so far recovered as to be able to remove 
with his family northward to Shanghae, and thence after i 
short stay proceeded to Ningpo, where, in a cooler climate^g^ ^ 
he could carry forward his work among the Chinese. There^'' 
on September 4th, 1854, he finished his mortal career, leavin g^ 
a widow and several children to lament his loss. Mrs. God — 
dard returned to the United States, and died at Providence,^.- 
Rhode Island, November 28th, 1857.

induced to proceed from Singapore to the United States, and 
did not return to China.

LV. a S # Li Ya-ko, JAMES LEGGE, the son of 
Ebenezer Legge, and youngest of a family of seven, was born 
at Huntly, Aberdeenshire, in 1815. His father held a pro- 
minent position there as a tradesman, and influential member 
of the church of the Rev. George Cowie, well known for his 
independent principles and action; and there James Legge 
received his early education. He passed through a course of 
study, and graduated as A. M. at King's College, Aberdeen. 
Having joined the Christian church, in connection with the 
Congregational body, he entered for a time as student at 
Highbury College, London. Appointed by the London Mis- 
sionary Society, to the Chinese mission at Malacca, he was 
ordained at Trevor Chapel, Brompton, on the 25th of April, 
1839; and on the 30th \vas married to Mary l^*A\)^\Va, ^v^

daugbter of tlie Rev. John Morison, pastor of the same chapel 
July 28tli, he enibarkecl with Mrs. Legge, in the Eliza Stewart, 
accompanied by the Rev. W. C. Milne and Dr. Hobson; ar- 
rived at Batavia, the 19th of November, whence he proceeded 
to Singapore about the end of December; and reached Malacca, 
his appointed station, on the 10th of January, 1840. The 
same year, he succeeded Mr. Evans as Principal of the Anglo- 
Chinese College. July 14th, 1841, the council of the Univer- 
sity of New York conferred on him by unanimous vote, the 
degree of D. D. It having been determined to remove the 
Anglo-Chinese College to the newly-acquired colony of Hong- 
kong, he left Malacca on the Gth of May, 1843, for Singapore, 
and thence ])roceeding to Macao, arrived at Hongkong on 
July 10th, where he attended the conference of missionaries 
of the London Society, which took i)lace the following month. 
By the recommendation of the committee, the Anglo-Chinese 
College was converted into a Theological Seminary, principally 
. for the purpose of training a native ministry for China; and 
the institution was carried on at Hong-kong, under the su- 
j)erintendence of Dr. Legge. At the series of general meetings 
of Protestant missionaries, regarding the translation of the 
Scriptures, he was only absent from that of August 28th; 
and was appointed in conjunction with Dr. Medhurst, to 
deliberate on the rendering of the names of the Deity into 
Chinese. Comjjelled by ill health to leave his station for 
a season, he embarked with his family and three Chinese 
youths, in the Duke of Portland, on the 19th of November, 
1845, and arrived in London on the 28th of March following. 
During his residence in England, the three youths were ad- 
mitted into the Christian church, by the ordinance of baptism, 
at Huntly. On the 19th of April, 1848, he again embarked 
in the Ferozepore with his family and a large missionary par- 
ty, and arrived at Hongkong on July 22nd; where he continued 
to conduct the Theological Seminary, in addition to other 
mission duties. Mrs. Legge, who had been assiduous in 
school work during her residence at that station, died there 
on October 17th, 1852. In the beginning of 1858, Dr. Legge 
again left Hongkong for a visit to England, where he arrived 
June 3rd. During his stay, he married a second time, and 
embarked with his family in the Dora, on the 13th of June, 
1859, accompained by the Rev. F. S. Turner, reaching Hong- 
kong on September 21st. There, with the exception of 
occasional visits to the main land from time to time, he 
has continued devoted to the mission work ; having, in ad- 
dition to his various labours among the natives, sustained 
acceptably for many years, the 2>astorate of an English 
congregation. In the latter part of July 1865, having pre- 
viously sent his family for a change, he left for the north,

LVI. H il ^ Met Wei-ch'd. WILLIAM CHARLES 
MILNE, the son of Dr. Milne (see III, supra), w^is one of 
twins born at sea, April 22nd, 1815, five days after his 
parents had left Canton on a voyage to Malacca, which they 
reached on the 22nd of May. His first visit to China was at 
the early age of two years, when his ])arents landed there for 
a temporary sojourn on September 3r(l, 1817, returning to 
Malacca on the 17th of February following. He was scarcely 
four years old when he lost his mother, and was soon after 
placed under the training of Mrs. Thompson at Malacca; but 
on the death of his father in the summer of 1822, he was re- 
moved to England. Having received his early education in 
the neighbourhood of his father's birth-place, and passed his 
theological studies at Marischal College, Aberdeen, where he 
graduated as A. M. he was accepted by the London Mission- 
ary Society, and appointed to China. On the 19th of July, 
1839, he was ordained to the office of a missionary, in Wycliffe 
Chapel; and on the 28th of the same month, sailed in the 
Eliza Stewart, accompanied by Mr. Legge and Dr. Hobson, 
arriving at Macao on the 18th of December. There he took . 
up his residence for a time with Mr. Bridgman at the hospi- 
tal. Subsequently he removed to the house of the Morrison 
Education Society, to assist in the work of the Institution. 
Eaily in 1841, he went with a party of missionary friends to 
the island of Hongkong, after its cession to the British Crown, 
to ascertain its eligibility for a centre of missionary operations. 
During the absence of Mr. Brown the Superintendent of the 
Morrison Education Society, from April 1st to September 
10th, 1841, in conjunction with Mr. Boone, he took the entire 
charge of the school and library. In Februaiy, 1842, he 
proceeded to Ting-hae on the island of Chusan, where, after 
visiting the neighbouring cities of Chin-hae and Ningpo, he 



WILLIAM CHARLES MILNE. ' 12$ 

made his temporaiy abode. On the 7tli of December he a- 
gain went over to Ningpo, where he remained till the end of 
the year, returned for the first week in January, 1843, to 
Chusan, and again repaired to Ningpo. About the middle 
of June, hearing that Mr. Lockhart was at Chusan, he went 
over there and remained a few days, when both returned to 
Ningpo together. On the 7th of July, he started on a some- 
what hazardous journey of about 1300 miles through the in- 
terior to Canton, which he reached in safety on the 12th of 
August. In two days more, he was at Hongkong, in time to 
attend the conference of the missionaries of his society at 
that station. At the series of general meetings of mission- 
aries, regarding the translation of the Scriptures, he was pre- 
sent at all except those on August 24th, September 1st, and 
4th. At the meeting of August 25th, he was appointed with 
Messrs. Medhurst and J. R. Morrison, a committee to consult on 
the rendering of Scripture names. On the 2nd of October, he 
embarked with Mr. Medhurst in the Urgent, bound for the 
north, but encountering a severe storm, after being out near- 
ly three weeks, they had to seek shelter at Manilla. Return- 
ing to Macao, he embarked in the Duke of Northumberland 
with his Chinese teacher, and arrived in England, July 26th 
1844. While there, he was married to Frances Williamina the 
daughter of Dr. Beaumont, the Wesleyan minister. On the 
10th of April, 1846, he embarked with Mrs. Milne in the Mary 
Bannatyne, accompained by the Rev. J. F. and Mrs. Cleland; 
and arrived at Hongkong on the 25th of August, reaching 
Shanghae on the 26th of November. The Rev. W. M. Lowrie, 
delegate for the Ningpo station in the Translation Committee 
at Shanghae, having been drowned in the autumn of that 
year, Mr. Milne was elected to supply his place, and took his 
seat at the resumption of the meetings, on the 5th of January, 
1848. The committee having completed the translation of 
the New Testament in July, 1850, he was reelected to fill the 
same post in .the translation of the Old Testament, which was 
commenced forthwith, and carried on by the delegates as far 
as the middle of Leviticus, when a change took place in the 
committee on the 12th of February, 1861. After that Mr. 
Milne continued in concert with Dr. Medhurst and Mr. 
Stronach, proceeding to the completion of the Old Testament, 
which was accomplished at the close of 1852. Sanatory con- 
siderations induced him to leave China with his family in the 
beginning of 1854, intending to return to Europe by the Cape 
of Good Hope; but altering his resolution at sea, he joined 
the mail packet at Singapore, and jreached England on April 
4th. His connection with the missionary service ceased in 
1856, and in 1858 he returned to China with the appointment 
of Interpreter in the Consular service at Fuli-c\vovf. TlXv^x^j^

he remained till the establishment of the British Legation aC^ 
Peking, in 1861, when he removed to the capital in October^ 
and occupied the post of Teacher to the Student Interpreters 
in the British civil service. On the 15th of May, 1863, h^ 
died of apoplexy, and his mortal remains are deposited by^ 
the side of the four recent victims of Chinese cruelty, in th^ 
unconsecrated portion of the Russian cemetery, outside the^

LVII. >^ fS Ho-sin. BENJAMIN HOBSON, a niedi- 
<:^l student, who graduated as M. B. at the Loudon Univer- 
sity, and passed his examination as M. R. C. S. in London, 
"%yas accepted by the London Missionary Society, as Medical 
Xjaissionary for China. He was married to Jane Abbey, and 
embarked with Mrs. Hobson in the Eliza Stewart, accompanied 
T)y Messrs Legge and Milne, on the 28th of July, 1839 ; 
:»reached Angier on the 12th of November, and arrived at 
IlVIacao on December 18th, where he found a location with Mr. 
IBvidgman, then residing in the hospital. Soon after, he 
offered his services and was accepted by the Medical Mission- 
^xYj Society. When their hospital was reopened by Mr. Lock- 
liart on the 1st of August, 1840, he was assisted by Dr. Hobson 
in the duties ; and on the departure of the former for Cliusan 
€xt the end of the month, the hospital was i)laced under the 
joint charge of Drs. Hobson and Diver ; but the latter being 
compelled by failure of health, to leave soon after, it was 
subsequently under the sole management of Dr. Hobson. In 
the early ])art of 1843, he removed to Hongkong, to take 
charge of the Medical Missionary Society's hospital there, 
Avhich he opened for the reception of ])atients on the 1st of 
June. There he was present at the conference of the mission- 
aries of the London Society in August ; and at the series of 
general meetings of Protestant missionaries, regarding the 
translation of the Scriptm^es, he was present at all except 
those of August 28th and September 4th. In 1845, the health 
of Mrs. Hobson having failed to such an extent, a return to 
Europe seemed imperative, and he left Hongkong with her in 
July ; but she died within sight of her native land on Decem- 
ber 22nd, when anchored oif Dungeness, leaving a son and 
daughter under the care of her widowed husband. Daring 
his stay in England, Dr. Hobson Avas married to the daugh- 
ter of Dr. Morrison the missionary to China, and embark- 
ed with Mrs. Hobson in the Hugh Walker, accompanied 
by Mr. Hirschberg, on March 11th, 1847, reaching Hongkong 
on the 27th of July, where he resumed the charge of tlie hos-

pilal. In October he made a visit with Mr. Gillespie to Can- 
ton, and the following February took up his residence and 
commenced operations there. In April he opened a dispensary, 
and in June took possesdon of the house, and initiated the -^ 

complete work of the Missionary Hospital at Kum-le-fow in a 

the western suburb. Towards the close of the year 1854, he^^ 
repaired to Shanghae for the benefit of his health, and after— r^ 
an absence of five weeks, returned to his labours greatly re- — 
cruited. On the outbreak of hostilities in Canton, in Octobei — rr 
1856, he was compelled to vacate the spot, and sought a tern- ^— 
porary ajjylum for his family at Hongkong. At the instance^^3 
of his brethren in Shanghae, he rej)aired to that station ia^Kn 
February, 1857, and when Mr. Lockhart took his departure^^3 
for England at the close of the year. Dr. Hobson took his 

Elace in the mission Hospital. Early in 1859, he left Shang- 
ae, with all his family except his eldest son, who remaine " 
in a mercantile house at that settlement. Proceeding via 
Hongkong in the mail packets, he reached England in March ;^^ 
since which time, his health not admitting of his return to -^^ 
China, he resided for a time at Clifton, and has more recentljf ■^

LVIII. THOMAS L. MACBRYDE, was ordained t( 
the ministry of the gospel, and went to Singapore with— ^ 

Mrs. MacBryde in 1840, under the Board of Foreign Mis 

sions of the Presbyterian Church of the United States. From 
that ])ort, he sailed with Mr. Abeel on the 18tli of Septem- 
ber, 1841, on a voyage to Borneo, and returned October 30th. 
Early in December he went to Macao on account of his health; 
but left for Hongkong on June 1st, and thence removed 
to Koo-lang seu, where he arrived with Mrs. MacBryde and 
infant child on the 7th of June, accompanied by Mr. Boone 
and family, and Dr. Cumming. Compelled by failure of 
health, he left that station on January 13th, 1843, and went 
to Macao; from which he sailed for the United States early 
in July, in the Morrison, and arrived at New York on the 
20th of October. He then retired from the missionary service. 



LIX. JAMES C. HEPBURN, graduated as M. D. in 
the United States, and having been appointed medical mis- 
sionary by the Board of Foreign Missions of the Presbyterian 
Church, he sailed with Mrs. Hepburn in the summer of 1841 
for Singajiore, which he reached about the middle of Septem- 



WALTER STACON LOWUIE. 129 

ier. In the summer of 1843 he removed to Macao; and 
laving been accepted by the Medical Missionary Society, he 
proceeded to Amoy in the beginning of October; but driven 
>ack by adverse weatlier, he was in Hongkong again on the 
I.4tli, and ultimately reached his destination on November 
S5tli. In the later part of the following January, he opened 
L hospital in the town of Amoy. The failure of Mrs. Hep- 
>urn's health however, rendered a change necessary, and to- 
(rards the end of the year, they visited Macao on that account, 
oturning to Amoy with the Rev. J. Lloyd on December 6th. 
Jut this proving insufficient, they again left Amoy for the 
oiith on June 28th, 1845, and embarked for the United 
Jtates. After that Dr. Hei)burn commenced practice as a 
)hysician in New York, and acquired an extensive connection, 
irhich he sustained for a number of years till the recent 
•penings in Japan, when he again made his w^ay to the East 
.8 a medical missionary to the Japanese, under the same board 
JB before. He reached Shanghae with Mrs. Hepburn in 1859, 
,nd thence proceeded to Kanagawa in Japan. In September

LX. WILLIAM HENRY GUMMING, from Georgia, 
Jnited States, graduated as M. D, in his native land, and 
»vent to China in the capacity of medical missionary in 1842, 
mconhected with any society. He arrived at Macao in the 
earlier part of the year, and left for Hongkong on June 1st, 
vith the Revs. Messrs. Boone, MacBryde and W. M. Lowiie. 
Phence he proceeded with Messrs. Boone and MacBryde to 
ECoo-lang seu, where he arrived on the 7th, and opened a dis- 
pensary in the house of Mr. Abeel. There he was joined by 
Dr. Hepburn in November, 1843, and in the latter part of 
she following January, they opened a hospital in the town of 
Amoy, wiiere Dr. Gumming took up his residence. Dr. Hep- 
bum having left in June, 1845, the hospital was placed in 
the entire charge of his colleague, under the auspices of the 
Medical Missionary Society. In 1847, owing to failure of 
health, he was constrained to leave for America, and embarked 
at Macao in the Horatio, on the 17th of March, 1847. Con- 
tinued indisposition prevented his return to China. 



LXI. % m ^ Leu-U Hwa. WALTER MACON 
LOWRIE, the third son of Walter and Amelia Lowrie, was 
bom in Butler, Pennsylvania, on the 18th of February, 1819. 
The first steps in his education were superintended by his 
mother; and at an early period he was sent to school, where 



130 WAXTEB MACON LOWB^K. 

he learned the usual branches 6f a common English training. 
In his tenth year, his father having been elected to the United 
States Senate, removed to Washington city with his family; 
and for a part of the year instructed Walter in the higher 
rules of arithmetic, in geography, and ancient and modent 
history. In his eleventh and twelfth years, he spent two 
terms in a classical grammar school. In November 1832, he 
entered the prey)aratory department of Jefferson College at 
Cannonsburg, Pennsylvania, and at the same time found a 
home in the family of the Rev. Professor Kennedy. He 
joined the freshmen class in October, 1833. In August, 1834, 
he was at his parental home, made one of a family party to 
the Falls of Niagara, and returned with them to Washing- 
ton. In November he resumed his studies at college; soon 
after which, his attention was first permanently fixed upon 
the concerns of religion; and he was led to the decision of 
devoting his life to the missionary cause. On leaving college 
in 1837, he spent the winter at his father's house in New 
York, and in May, 1838, he entered the Theological Seminaiy 
at Princeton, New Jersey. There he spent the usual term 
of three years, during the last of which his mind was settled 
on Western Africa as his field of labour. lu 1840, he was 
received as a missionary of the Board of Foreign Missions of 
the Presbyterian Church, to be sent to Western Africa; but 
afterwards in view of the exigencies of the China mission, the 
executive committee proposed to him a change of destination, 
to which he, after much hesitation consented. On the*5th of 
April, 1841, he was licensed to preach the gospel; and on the 
9th of November, was ordained an evangelist. On the 19th 
of January, 1842, he sailed for China in the ship Huntress, 
and landed at Macao on the 27th of May. On June 1st, he 
accompanied Messrs. MacBryde and Boone and Dr. Gumming 
to Hongkong. Having received instructions to proceed i-o 
Singapore, to assist in removing the mission of the Board 
from that place to some point on the coast of China, he left Ma- 
cao on the 18th of June in the Sea Queen, and after a tediouB 
voyage, the ship was obliged to put in at Manilla, where they 
arrived, August 23rcl. On the 18th of September he again 
set sail for Singapore in the Harmony, which on the 25th 
struck a hidden rock. After five days sailing in an open 
boat with part of the ship's company, he reached the island 
of Luban, where he remained tor two days, and left in a na- 
tive schooner, October 2nd, for Manilla, aniving there the 
following day. He then abandoned his purpose of visiting 
Singapore, and embarked in the Diana, on the 10th, by which 
he reached Hongkong on the 17th, and thence proceeded to 
Macao. Being in Hongkong at the time, he attended one of 
the series of general meetings of Protestant mis^ionariefl re^ 



WALTfiR MACON LOWftflL 131 

ffarding the translation of the Scriptures, held on August 28th, 
1843. With the intention of visiting all the newly-opened 
ports, he left that colony on the 31st; but in consequence of 
Btormy weather, the vessel put in at Amoy on September 5th. 
Thence he started with Mr. Abeel on October 3rd, for a jour- 
ney to Chang-chow in the interior, from which they returned 
to Koo-lang seu on the 6th. He left with Mr, Roberts in a 
lorcha on the 9 th, fbr Hongkong, where he arrived on the 
14th, and a few days later at Macao. January 21st, 1845, 
he left Macao for Hongkong, and there embarked for the north 
on the I7th of February in the Rob Roy, which anchored at 
Woo-sung in the. vicinity of Shanghae on March 11th. Leav- 
ing Shanghae on the 29th, he reached Chusan, April 1st, 
proceeding thence to Ningpo on the 1 Ith, where he took up 
Lis residence. Much of his time, especially at the commence- 
ment of his residence at Ningpo, was spent in itinerating 
through the neighbouring country with some of the brethren. 
Having been elected to represent Ningpo, in the Committee 
of Delegates for the translation of the New Testament, he 
arrived in Shanghae for that purpose, early in June, 1847. 
While there engaged in the work, circumstances called him 
to visit Ningj^o; and he left Shanghae by the inland route, on 
August 16th, but was detained at Cha-poo by contrary wind 
till the 19th, when he started to cross the Hang-chow Bay. 
The same day the boat was attacked by pirates, and Mr. 
Lowrie was thrown overboard, no trace of his body having 
ever been discovered afterwards. A cenotaph has been erect- 
ed to his memory in the Ningpo Presbyterian cemetery.

LXX. ^ ^Loo-yili, JOHN LLOYD was born in Hun- 
tingdon county, Pennsylvania, October 1st, 1813. The first 
fifteen years of bis life were spent at home, where he received a 
strict reli<j:ious training, and as good an education as the district 
schools afforded. From his sixteenth to his twenty-first year, 
he acted as clerk in several establishments, and improved his 
leisure hours in acquiring knowledge, reading with avidity 
such books as came in his way, especially those of a historical 
character. The pursuits of trade, however, were not congenial 
to his mindj and he commenced a course of classical . studies 
at Jefferson College, Oanonsburgh, in the spring of 1834, un- 
der the presidency of the Rev. M. Brown, D. D. In the second 
session of his collegiate course, there was a powerful revival of 
religion at the institution, which led to his making a public 
profession of religion in March, 1835. In September, 1839, 
he graduated as A. B. at that college; and next year began 
his studies with a private clergyman, preparatory to entering 
the ministry. In 1841, he entered the Theological Seminary 
at Princeton; in 1843. he received the degree of A. M.; and 
in 1844, he was licensed to preach the gogpel, by the presby- 
tery of New York. Having been appointed missionary to the 
Chinese, by the Board of Foreign Missions of the Presbyterian 
Church, he left his native land on June 22nd that year, in 
the Cohota, with Dr. Happer, and Messrs. Culbertson and 
Loomis, reaching Macao on October 22nd. After consulta- 
tion with the brethren of his mission there, he left for Amoy 
with Dr. Hepburn about the end of Nevember, and reached 
his destination on December 6. There he remained occupied 
with his missionary pursuits till the time of his death, which 
took place December 6th, 1848, exactly four years after his 
anival.

lators had reached near the middle of Leviticus, an alteration 
-took place in the constitution of the committee, and Mr. Cul- 
1)ertson in concert with Dr. Bridgman commenced the Old 
■Testament de novo. At this and the New Testament, he 
<3ontinued till October, 1855, when he left with his family for

l)anied by Messrs. Lloyd, Happer and Culbertson, of ij^e same 
society, and arrived at Macao on October 22nd. On tne 20th 
of February following, he embarked at Hongkong in the 
Isabella Anna, accompanied by Messrs. Culbertson, and 
Macgowan, and after a voyage of thirty-eight days, reached 
Tinghae on the island of Chusan on March 30th. There he 
took up his abode, and commenced missionary operations, 
continuing on the island till August, 1846, shortly after its 
evacuation by the British forces. The natives then, under 
pretext of alarm regarding an earthquake that occurred on the 
4th of that month, compelled him to quit, and he removed to 
Ningpo. Failing health however rendered it necessary for 
him to leave China, and after spending some months in Chu- 
san, he embarked for the United States with Mrs. Loomis in 
October, 1849. After a protracted residence in his native land,

LXXV. J^\^Pang-ni. SAMUEL WILLI AM BONNE Y, 
2^ on of the Rev. William Bonney, was born at New Canaan, Con- 
^iecticut, March 8th, 1815. At an early age, ho was thrown upon 
l:iis own resources to obtain an education. In the year 1832, 
Vie was in the employ of Messrs. Merriam at Springfield, Mas- 
sachusetts, the publishers of Webster's Dictionary. In 1837, 
\ie was engaged at Poughkeepsie teaching. The same year 
lie was converted, and on the 28th of January in the following 
;year, he joined the Allen Street Church. In 1 840 he was a 
student at New York University ; but next year removed 
lo Lane Seminary, Ohio. By the assistance of friends, he was 
enabled to continue his studies till 1844. When about finish- 
ing his course, he received an appointment from the American 
Board of Commissioners, as missionai*y to India ; but this des- 
tination was afterwards changed from an accidental circum- 
stance. Happening to meet the Rev. J. Addison Carey of the 
Deaf and Dumb Institution, in a New York car, the latter 
mentioned to Mr. Bonney, that the Morrison Education Society 
in China was in want of a teacher, that Mr. Macy had been 
eagaged as assistant to the Rev. S. Brown, but would not J)e

ciety, he should continue as a missionary in their service. He 
left New York in the Huntress, about the end of 1844, accom- 
panied bv the Eev. H. A. Brown, and arrived at Hongkong 
on March 1 0th, 1845. There he entered immediately on the 
duties of the scliool, which he sustained for nearly twelve 
months. He was then relieved by the arrival of Mr. Macy, 
and proceeded immediately to Canton, as licentiate, in con- 
nection with the American Board. In 1847, he was striving 
to obtain a residence outside the. foreign factories at Canton. 
In 1848, he was living in the large Buddhist monastery at 
Honam, opposite the city of Canton, but was not permitted.to 
remain. Next year he occupied rooms in the hong of a 
native merchant at Honam. Subsequently, he rented a house 
below Dutch Folly on the Canton side, and for a time wore 
Chinese costume. Between the years 1850 and 1853,- he lived 
at Whampoa and Newtown, where lie interested himself es- 
pecially in the welfare of seamen, and on one occasion had an 
interview with the Italian patriot Grarribaldi, who had come to 
China as master of a merchant vessel. When Dr. Williams 
joined the Japanese expedition under Commodore Perry, in 
1854, Mr. Bonney returned to Canton, to take temporary charge 
of the Press of the American Board. At the close of the year, 
he left for the United States, and by the way visited Java, 
Germany and England. While in his native land, he was en- 
gaged in reviewing his theological studies, and in preparation 
for the ministry of the gospel, to which he was then ordained. 
In July, 1856, he was married at Albany, New York, to Cathe- 
rine Visscher, the daughter of General Soloman Van Rensselaer, 
and the next month, left for China, where he arrived within 
two years from the time he left it. After a residence of near- 
ly two years at Macao, where his fellow missionaries were 
exiled during the war, he with others returned to Canton at 
the close of the year 1858, to renew his labours, preaching and 
superintending schools. In 1861, in company with the Rev. 
W. R. Beach, Dr. Dickson and Mr. Thorbum, he made the 
inland journey through Hoo-nan to Hankow, where he ar- 
rived on the 19 til of May, thirty-nine days after leaving Can- 
ton. After a brief stay, he returned to Canton, by way of 
Shanghae. In March 1862, he paid a visit to Japan with 
Mrs. Bonney, on account of her health. In December of the 
same year, he made a trip into the interior of Kwang-tung 
province, in company with tne Rev. Messrs. Gray and John 
Preston, to the district of Chang-ning, where they were at- 
tacked by a band of robbers, and deprived of their clothes, 
money, horses and baggage; but the natives kindly provided 
them with the means of returning. In 1 863, in company 
with some friends, he made a second trip up the North river, 
as far as Shin-kwan. After a protracted illness of two months.

the Protestant Episcopal Church. He left New York with 
Mrs. Woods in the Horatio, on the 14th oi December, 1844, 
in company with Bishop Boone and a missionary party, and 
arrived in Hongkong on the 24th of April, 1845. He left that 
port on July 5th, in the John Horton, together with the Rev. 
R Graham, Rev. W. Fairbrother, and Mr. Cole with their wives, 
reaching Shanghae on the 25th. His residence there however 
was but of short duration, for ill health compelled him to leave 
the place after a few months, and he returned to America in 
the early part of 1846. By the latest information, he was 
very recently Rector at Bloomingto in Illinois.

New York with Mrs. Graham, in the Horatio, on the 14th of 
December, 1844, in the party that accompanied Bishop Boone 
on his return to the East, he landed at Hongkong on April 
24th, 1845. There, in company with Messrs. Woods, Fair- 
brother and Cole, he embarked in the John Horton, July 
5th, and reached Shanghae on the 25th. During the follow- 
ing year, his health having failed, he left the station with his 
wife and child, by the Coquett, about the middle of January, 
1847, and arrived at Hongkong the same month; where he 
embanked for the United States. Bv the latest information

LXXVIII. WILLIAM FAIKBKOTHEK, a student of 
Springhill College near Birmingham, having been appointed 
missionary to China, by the London Missionary Society, was 
ordained, September 3rd, 1844, in Carr's Lane Chapel, Bir- 
mingham. On the 26th of October, he embarked in the Kelso, 
with Mrs. Fairbrother, and amved at Calcutta, March 15th, 

1845. Thence he sailed soon after in the Dido, and was at 
Singapore on May 21st. The vessel in which they sailed from 
that place, took tire at sea, and after a narrow escape from 
their perilous situation, they were rescued by the ship Ju- 
dith, and arrived at Hongkong on June 28th. On. the 5th 
of July, they embarked in the John Horton, in company with 
Messrs. Woods, Graham and Cole, and their wives, and 
arrived at Shanghae on the 25th. Within a week or two af- 
terwards, Mrs. Fairbrother was seized with an attack of 
diarrhoea which brought on premature confinement, under 
which she sank, and expired on the 1 8th of September. Scarce- 
ly had the grave closed over the mortal remains of his be- 
loved partner, when Mr. Fairbrother was himself laid aside 
by illness; and it became painfully evident that no measure 
but an immediate return to his native country would avail 
to preserve his life. He accordingly left for England in J anuary, 

1846, and arrived in London on June 18th. After his return 
to England, he was for some time pastor over a congregation 
in Maidenhead; but has also been much engaged traveUing 
through Great Britain on behalf of the Society, and in 1863 
was appointed Travelling Secretary of the London Missionary 
Society.

LXXX. m jiSr ydy-Iun. WILLIAM JARROM was or- 
dained to the ministiy in England, and appointed a mission- 
ary to the Chinese, by tlie General Baptist Missionary Society. 
He embarked with Mrs. Jarrom in the Duke of Portland, 
accompanied by Mr. Hudson and his son, and anived at Hong- 
kong on the 21st of September, 1845. The following year 
he went north and settled at Ningpo. There he was called 
to pass through a severe trial, in the death of Mrs. JaiTom, , 
which took place on the 26th of February, 1848. In the year 
1850, finding his own views so different from those of his col- 
league, as to render cooperation impracticable, he left Ningpo, 
and returned to England, retiring from connection Avith the 
mission. By the latest accounts, he was pastor of a Baptist 
congregation in England. 



LXXXI. ^ m Slmae-U, EDWARD W. SYLE, a native 
of England, was ordained to the ministry in the United States, 
and appointed a missionary to China, by the Board of Foreign 
Missions of the Protestant Episcopal Church. He left Ame- 
rica with Mrs. Syle in the summer of 1845, in the Heber, and 
arrived at Hongkong on the 4th of October; whence they 
sailed again in the Eagle on tlie 23rd, and reached Shanghae 
on November 19th. There he continued his missionary la- 
bours, preaching and teaching for a number of years, till 
compelled by failure of health, he left with his family in the 
Mandarin for New York, on the 18th of February, 1853. 
After spending some time in California, he returned to Shang- 
hae in 1856. During his residence in China, he was ever 
forward in any public-spirited or philanthropic enterprise. 
He undertook the direction of an Institution for the poor 
Blind, which had been set on foot. He was one of the 
original promoters of the North China Branch of the Royal 
Asiatic Society, and gave it his active support while he 
remained in Shanghae, being Recording Secretary for the 
year 1859-60. In the year 1859, Mrs. Syle died, and he left 
for America with his three children in the Pursuit, on Decem- 
ber 1 1th, 1860. Soon after his arrival in the United States, he 
received the jmstorate of a large church in Philadelphia, and 
married a second time; but in consequence of some differing 
views, he left that place, and has been for some years presiding 
over a charge in Long Island, New York. 

Although there is no separate work by Mr. Syle published, 
yet he rendered considerable service, aiding in the transla-

There is an article from his pen on the Musical Notation 
of the Chinese, in the 1st volume of the Journal of the North 
China Branch of the Royal Asiatic Society.

the English chapel. In September, 1848, he removed to 
Canton, to assist Dr. Hobson, who had recently effected a 
settlement there. In 1850 he left for England, arrived in 
London, February 21st, 1851, and retired from the mission. 
He has since gone to Australia, where he has been occupied 
with agricultural pursuits. 



LXXXIII. E. N. JENCKS, a member of the Baptist 
communion in the United States, was married to Susan 
daughter of the Rev. Daniel Baldwin, of Milford, Connecti- 
cut. Being ordained to the ministry, he was appointed mis- 
sionary to the Chinese, by the American Baptist Missionary 
Union, this being the same body which was formerly desig- 
nated the American Baptist Board of Foreign Missions. He 
left New York with Mrs. Jencks on the 29th of June, 1846, 
in the Cohota, in company with the Revs. W. Dean, S. C. 
Clopton, and George Pearcy, with their wives; and on the 6th 
of October arrived at Macao. From Hongkong he proceeded 
to Bankok his destined station, the same year. There he 
made rapid progress with the language, but in a short time, 
the failure of Mrs. Jencks' health compelled them to quit the 
field. They left Bankok in November, 1847, returned to 
China via Singapore, and embarked in the Valparaiso for the 
United States, from Whampoa, April 12th, .1848. Mrs.

LIUS CLOPTON, the son of a Baptist pastor in Virgina, 
United States, was born in 1816. He graduated in the Co- 
lumbian College; and after having been teacher. in the pre- 
paratory department of Richmond College, he spent some 
time as a student in the Newton Theological Institution in 
Massachusetts, where he left the reputation of a prayerful, 
godly young man. Being ordained to the ministry, he was • 
appointed missionary to the Chinese, by the Board of Foreign 
Missions of the Southern Baptist Convention. He left New 
York with Mrs. Clopton in the Cohota, on June 29th, 1846, 
accompanied by the Revs. W. Dean, E. N. Jencks and G. 
Pearcy, with their wives, arriving at Macao on the 6th of 
October. Thence he removed to Canton on the 9th, where 
he commenced his preparatory missionary labours. It is 
supposed that he contracted a fever by exposure to the hot 
sun, while attending the funeral service of the United States 
minister, the Hon. A. H. Everett, on tlie 30th of June, 1847. 
He died on the 7th of July following, and was buried on French 
Island near Whampoa. 



LXXXV. p^ '± Pe-sze. GEORGE PEARCY, a mem- 
ber of the Baj)tist church, studied at Washington, and being

Baptist Convention. He left New York with Mrs. Pearcy in 
the Cohota, June 29th, 1846, in company with the Revs. W. 
Dean, E. N. Jencks and S. C. Clopton and their wives, ar- 
riving at Macao on October 6th, from which he removed to 
Canton on the 9th. His health failing, lie went to Macao in 
June, 1848. In August, he left Hongkong for Shanghae, 
but was driven back by a typhoon; he embarked again in 
September, and reached his destination. He remained at 
Shanghae till 1854, when he was attacked with a severe sick- 
ness, which brought him very low, and rendered a visit to hia 
native land necessary; so that he left for the United States, 
with Mrs. Pearcy, about the end of the year. He was anxious 
to return to China, but the Board declined sending him, 
on account of his health. After spending some time as an 
agent for the collection of funds, he was appointed to the 
mission among the Chinese in California, left vacant by the 
retmn eastward of Mr. Shuck. No more recent intelligence 
has been heard regarding him. 

LXXXVI. WILLIAM SPEER, a native of the United 
States, studied medicine at Jefferson College, Philadelphia, 
where he graduated as M. D. about the year 1842. He was

ried to Cortielia the daughter of Alexander Breckenridge, 
Esq. of Pittsburg, Pennsylvania. He subsequently studied 
for the ministry at the Theological Seminary at Alleghany; 
and being ordained to the sacred office, was appointed a mis- 
ftionary to the Chinese, by the Board of Foreign Missions of 
the Presbyterian Church. He left New York with Mrs. Speer 
in the Grafton, on the 20th of July, 1846, accompanied by 
the Kevs. J. B. French and J. W. Quarterman, arriving at 
Macao on the 27th of December. There Mrs. Speer died, 
April 11th, 1847, and was buried in the protestant cemetery. 
Soon after this Mr. Speer removed to Canton, where he re- 
mained till 1849, and then went to the United States. After 
that he served some time as a missionary to the Indians, and 
was also a missionary in the Western States. In 1851, he 
went to San Francisco, where he laboured for several years 
among the Chinese residents. In 1857, he retired from that 
service, on account of haemorrhage from the lungs, and settled 
in the State of Minnesota.

College at the capital, where he finished hii coarse with 
honour. At the age of eighteen, he became a member of the 
Presbyterian church, and then decided to enter the ministry. 
He was admitted into the Theological Seminary at Princeton 
in 1842. For a time he was in the service of the Tract Society, 
at Richmond in Virginia; and in 1846 was ordained as an 
evangelist by <he Presbytery of Baltimore. Soon after his 
ordination, having received an appointment from the Presby- 
terian Board to labour at Canton, he set sail from New York on 
July 20th, accompanied by Mr. and Mrs. Speer, and the Bev. 
J. W. Quarterman, reaching Macao on December 27th. The 
following year in spring he removed to Canton, where he 
mixed freely with the Chinese in the prosecution of his mis- 
sionary duties. In 1851, he was married to Mary L. the 
second daughter of the Kev. Dyer Ball, M. D. In the autumn 
of 1856, on account of his health he paid a visit to Shanghae and 
Ningpo. At the outbreak of the troubles between the English 
and Chinese, Mr. French's premises were burnt down on the 
29th of October, 1856; and on the 4th of November, he re- 
moved with his family in the American steamer Spark to Ma- 
cao, where he continued to labour among the native popula- 
tion; and after an absence of nearly seventeen months, he 
went up to Canton on Ai)ril 1st in the Spark, but returned 
to Macao in the same vessel on the 10th. After nearly twelve 
years of service, worn by labour, and wasted by disease, he 
embarked with his family in November for his native land, 
as the only hope of preserving his life; but he died at sea soon 
after passing Anjier, on the 30th of the same month, his 
mortal remains being committed to the deep. He left a wi- 
dow and two little boys to mourn his loss.

from Plymouth in England, in 1630, to enjoy religious liber-

a part, built the town of Dorchester in New England. An 
offshoot from this colony removed to the south in 1695, and 
established a colony and church in Liberty county, Georgia. 
The Rev. Robert Quarterman, father of the subject of this 
sketch, was pastor of this church till his death in 1849. At 
the age of sixteen J. W. Quartennan went to college, and 
the following year became a member of the Christian church. 
In 1841, he entered the University of Alabama; and after- 
wards received his theological education in the Columbian 
Theological Seminary, where he remained for three years. 
Having been ordained to the ministry, he was appointed mis- 
sionary to the Chinese, by the Board of Foreign Missions of 
the Presbyterian Church, and embarked at New York on July 
20th, 1846, in company with Mr. and Mrs. Speer and Mr. 
French, arriving at Macao on December 27th. He reached 
Ningpo on the 8th of March, 1847; where his principal 
work was preaching; although he rendered much assistance 
in carrying on the operations of the press, and the different 
schools connected with the mission. In the beginning of 
1856, he accompanied the Rev. C. C. Baldwin on a visit to 
Shanghae overland. With the exception of some such occa- 
sional trips, he remained steadily at his post till 1857, when 
he was attacked by confluent smallpox, and died on the 13th 
of October. His remains were interred in the Presbyterian 
Mission burying ground at Ningpo.

under the direction of Dr. Gutzlaff. He left Europe in company 
with the Kev. K. Lechler about tlie end of 1846, and reached 
Hongkong on March 19th, 1847. Being appointed to the 
eastern })art of Kwangtung province as his sphere, he early 
began to itinerate with the native preachers, but met with some 
opposition from the authorities at the outset. When Dr. Q-utz- 
laff left for Europe in September, 1849, Mr. Hamberg took 
charge of the Chinese Union; but on discovering the imposi- 
tions that were being practised, he gave up all connection 
with it. He' spent a good deal of time at Pukak, Fungfo 
and Lilong among the Hakkas, a race of Chinese settlers in 
the eastern part of the province, and was the first missionary 
to learn their dialect. He was elected a delegate for Hongkong 
to the committee for translating the Old Testament, which 
met at Shanghae in 1850, but never went to take his place 
there. In 1852, he was married at Hongkong, and returned 
to his station at Pukak, whei*e he remained till the spring of 

1854, but was then induced to go to Hongkong on account of 
his health, and there he died on May 13th. Mrs. Hamberg 
returned to Europe shortly after.

G, ^% Ko4in. JUDSON DWIGHT COLLINS was 
born at Rose in Wayne county. New York, February 12th, 
1822. Hi& parents were members of the Methodist Episcopal 
church, and their house a home for itinerant ministers. In 
his early years he enjoyed the advantages of family worship, 
the Sabbath school, and the gospel ministry. In 1 831, he 
emigrated with his parents to Michigan, and settled in the 
town of Pittsfield in Washtenaw county, where he laboured 
with his father and brothers on a farm in summer, and at- 
tended the district school in winter. On the opening of the 
academy at Ann Arbor, he walked morning and evening three 
miles and a half to enjoy its benefits. At the age of fourteen 
years, he became a member of the Methodist Episcopal church; 
and as he acquired ability, was successfully employed in 
Sabbath school instruction, in Bible distribution, and in acts 
©f charity to the poor, visits of counsel to the ening in prison, 
and words of consolation to the unfortunate in the asylum. 
He was a member of the first class in Michigan University, 
where he graduated in 1845. The same year he was employ- 
ed aa Professor of Natural and Moral Science in the Wesleyaii

Seminary at Albion. At an early period in his religious his- 
tory, he seems to have been devoted to the missionary work, 
and his mind was led to Ciiina before the Methodist church 
had a mission in that country. After his application to be 
sent on such a mission, he accepted a temporary appointment 
as a circuit preacher, in 1846. Having been appointed to 
China by the American Methodist Episcopal Missionary So- 
ciety, he took leave of his friends at home on the 3rd of March, 
1847; and proceeded to Rochester, New York, where he met 
his future colleague, the Rev. M. C. White; with whom he 
sailed from Boston in theHeber, on the 15th of April, accom- 
panied also by the Revs. E. Doty and J. V. N. Talmage. 
On the 4th of August they arrived at Macao, and on the 
21st, he took passage in a lorcha at Hongkong, with Mr. and 
Mrs. White, and arrived at Fuh-chow on September 6th. 
His first care on arriving was the acquirement of the local 
dialect. In February, 1848, in concert with Mr. White, he 
initiated a boy's school, and in the following August, opened 
a place for preaching. In February, 1849, he was brought 
very low by typhus fever; and on his partial recovery, took a 
trip to Ningpo and Shanghae, returning to his field of labour 
in June, much improved in health. After the departure of 
the Rev. H. Hickok, Mr. Collins received his appointment as 
superintendent of the mission on May 2nd, 1850. Failing 
health compelled him to relinquish his chosen work however; 
and he left Fuh-chow in April, 1851, embarked in the Ca- 
talpa at Hongkong, May 14th, and crossing the Pacific, land- 
ed in California July 1 4th. He reached his home in Michi- 
gan in September, much wasted and worn down by climate 
and disease; but lingered till May, 1852, when he breathed 
his last. His remains rest in the family cemetery at Lyndon 
in Washtenow county, Michigan. '

CIV. BENJAMIN SOUTHWELL was bora at Bridg- 
north in Shropshire, on June 12th, 1822. In youth he was 
engaged in secular business, and became a member of the 
Christian church in connection with the Congregational body. 
His thoughts becoming directed ^towards the profession 
of the ministry, he passed a course of study at Spring-hill 
college, T|ear Birmingham, and graduated as B. A. of the 
London University in 1846. Having been accepted by the 
London Missionary Society, he was ordained and set apart 
as a missionary to China, in Ebenezer Chapel, Birmingham, 
on February 10th, 1847. He subsequently formed a matrimonial 
alliance, and on the 20 th of April, embarked with Mrs. South- 
well in the Monarch, at Liverpool, acoompained by the 
Rev. W. Muirliead and Mr. A. Wylie. The voyage was 
diversified by a few days stay at Simon's Town, and they 
reached Shanghae on August 26th. On his arrival, Mr. South- 
well set about those preparatory studies needful for his anti- 
cipated labours, but failing health prevented that continuous 
application requisite to success; and disease induced by the 
climate, superadded to the effects of severe mental exercise 

f)revious to leaving his native land, so completely prostrated 
lim, that he died of fever after fifteen days illness, on October 
5th, 1849. He was buried in Shanghae cemetery, where a stone 
marks his place of rest, and a memorial tablet is placed in 
Union Chapel, Shanghae. Jlrs. Southwell left for England 
with her daugliter towards the end of the mouth. She was 
married a second time in 1864.

Seminary at Albion. At an early period in his religious his- 
tory, he seems to have been devoted to the missionary work, 
and his mind was led to China before the Methodist church 
liad a mission in that country. After his application to be 
sent on such a mission, he accepted a temporary appointment 
as a circuit preacher, in 1846. Having been appointed to 
China by the American Methodist Episcopal Missionary So- 
ciety, he took leave of his friendsathomeon the 3rd of March, 
1847; and proceeded to Rochester, New York, where he met 
his future colleague, the Rev. M. C. White; with whom he 
sailed from Boston in theHeber, on the 15th of April, accom- 
panied also by the Revs. E. Doty and J. V. N. Talmage. 
On the 4th of August they arrived at Macao, and on the 
21st, he took passage in' a lorcha at Hongkong, with Mr. and 
Mrs. White, and arrived at Fuh-chow on September 6th. 
His first care on arriving was the acquirement of the local 
dialect. In February, 1848, in concert with Mr. White, he 
initiated a boy's school, and in the following August, opened 
a place for preaching. In February, 1849, he was brought 
very low by typhus fever; and on his partial recovery, took a 
trip to Ningpo and Shanghae, returning to his field of labour 
in June, much improved in health. After the departure of 
the Rev. H. Hickok, Mr. Collins received his appointment as 
superintendent of the mission on May 2nd, 1850. Failing 
health compelled him to relinquish his chosen work however; 
and he left Fuh-chow in April, 1851, embarked in the Ca- 
talpa at Hongkong, May 14th, and crossing the Pacific, land- 
ed in California July f4th. He reached his home in Michi- 
gan in September, much wasted and worn down by climate 
and disease; but lingered till May, 1852, when he breathed 
his last. His remains rest in the family cemetery at Lyndon 
in Washtenow county, Michigan. '

of the Presbyterian church iu liis native town. In 1840 he 
entered Dartmouth College, where he graduated in 1844. 
After that he spent a year as Principal of the Keene Acade- 
my; during which time the death of his mother led him to a 
J.eeper religious experience, and having resolved to devote his 
life to the Christian ministry, he went in the autumn of 1845 
to Lane Seminary. While at that institution his thoughts 
were turned towards the work in heathen lands, xind after 
having spent a year there, he was accepted in 1846, by the 
American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions, and 
designated to labour at Fuh-chow in China. He spent a 
second year in the study of theology at the Union Theologi- 
cal Seminary. On the 28th of October, 1847, he was married 
to A. M. Stearns, the sister of Mrs. Hartwell, wife of the 
missionary at Fuh-chow, and on the 11th of November em- 
barked with Mrs. Cumming, at Philadelphia in the Valpara-^ 
iso, in company with Dr. and Mrs. James, Miss. Pohlman, 
the Kev. C. C. and Mrs. Baldwin, and the Kev. W. L. Rich- 
ards, and landed at Hongkong March 25th, 1848. After 
spending a few days in that colony, he proceeded on his way 
to Fuh-chow, where he arrived on the 7tli of May. In the 
autumn of 1849, he opened a small chapel in one of the main 
streets, and there, besides the superintendence of a school, 
and other mission duties, he continued for years to preach 
Christ to the natives. The health of himself and his wife 
iiowever beginning to fail, they made a voyage to Shanghae 
in the spring of 1855, but finding no benefit from that, they 
soon returned to Fuh-chow, and there embarked in May for 
the United States, where they landed October lOtli. He took 
up his abode at New Ipswich, and during the winter his 
health improved. Next year he performed much ministerial 
labour, and in August visited Andover to attend the anniver- 
saries of the seminary. He went to Boston also to aiTange 
for his return to China, but it was otherwise decreed; — ^he 
died at New Ipswich, August I2th, 1856.

CXIII. M ^ Leih tsee, WILLIAM L. KICHARDS, 
son of the Rev. William Richards, one of the first missionaries 
to the. Sandwich Islands, was born at Lahaina on the island 
of Maui* in that group, December 3rd, 1823, the eldest of 
eight children. During his residence among the heathen, he 
was preserved as far as possible from pagan influence, by his 
parents, from whom he received his mental and moral training, 
except that one of the other missionaries heard his recitations 
in Latin for a few months. He remained at the islands till 
he was thirteen years old, when he embarked on December 
9th, 1836, with all the rest of the family for the United 
States. Soon after reaching that country, he entered the 
sophomore class of Jefferson College, at Cannonsburg, Penn- 
sylvania, in 1838, and found a home in the family of its presi- 
dent, the Rev. Dr. Brown. In 1841, the death of a youthful 
associate, which much affected him, seems to have been 
blessed to his spiritual good, and he became a member of the 
Presbyterian church at Cannonsburg that year. After his 
graduation he served as tutor for a year in the family of 
William Buchanan, Esq.y near Wheeling, Virginia. Having 
spent some time in 1843 travelling with his father, who was 
then on a second visit to the United States, he entered Union 
Theological Seminary at New York, in October. While 
there, he resolved to devote his life to the extension of Christ's 
cause among the heathen, and offered himself to the Ameri- 
can Board of Commissioners for If omga^\mc>\vs»,\.Q%ci ^\v^-

where they might send him; in answer to which he was ap- 
pointed in the spring of 1847, to join their mission at Fuh 
•chow in China. He was licensed by the Brooklyn presbytery, 
-April 29th, and ordained by the same body, October 14th, at 
the church of which he was a member, under the pastorate of 
the Rev. Mr. Speer. He embarked at Philadelphia in the Val- 
paraiso, in company with Messrs. Oummings and Baldwin with 
their wives. Dr. and Mrs. James, and Miss Pohlman, on 
Uoveraber 11th, and landed at Hongkong, March 25th, 1848. 
lieaving that port with Messrs. Cummings and Baldwin, he 
reached Fuh-chow on May 7th, and gave himself at once to 
the study of the language, in which he made very satisfactory 
progress, and procured a place where he continued to preach 
JTesus to Ihe people. After a brief career, he was attacked 
in September, 1850, by haemorrhage of the lungs, and a 
«ea voyage was considered the only hope of prolonging his 
life. He left Fuh-chow on November 12th, spent a little time 
at Hongkong, and proceeded to Canton, where he embarked 
for the United States in the Sea, on the 3rd of March, 1851. 
He died at sea before reaching the end of the voyage, when 
near St. Helena, on June 5tli, and his mortal r-emains were 
ooinmitted to the deep. 



CXIV. J. SEXTON JAMES the son of J . E. James, Esq. 
'was born at Philadelphia. He obtained his classical educa- 
tion at Brown University, studied theology at Newton, and 
medicine in his native city, where he graduated as M. D. In 
the latter part of 1847, he was married to Miss. Safford; and 
liaving been appointed a missionary to China, by the Board 
of Foreign Missions of the Southern Baptist Couv^ention, he 
€ailod with Mrs. James from Philadelphia in the Valparaiso, 
on November J 1th, accompanied by Messrs. Cumming and 
Baldwin with their wives, Mr. Brichards and Miss. Pohlman, 
and landed at Hongkong on March 25th, 1.848. Their destina- 
tion was Shanghae, and after spending five or six days at 
Hongkong, they visited Canton, from which they embarked 
to return on April 1 3th, in the schooner Paradox. As they 
entered the harbour on the 15th, and in sight of the town of 
Hongkong, Dr. James had just left tlie deck for the cabin, 
where Mrs. James was preparing to go ashore, when a sudden 
gust of wind struck the schooner, and she immediately went 
over on her side, going down in a few seconds, when Dr. and 
Mrs. James found a watery grave, nothing having l)cen seen 
of them afterwards.

derably im])aired during the voyage, and after a residence of 
several months without any sensible improvement, ho made a 
short visit to Ningpo, which produced no benefit, and it was 
determined that he should ])rOceed at once to England. He 
left Shanghae with Mrs. Farmer, about the middle of March, 
1849, for Hongkong, where they took passage by steamer, in- 
tending to proceed by the overland route. Three days after 
his embarkation at the Point de Galle, he died at sea on the. 
23rd of April, and his remains were committed to the deep. 
Mrs. Farmer continued the voyage to England.

northward, he arrived at Ningpo in August, and was for sever^ 
years actively engaged in mission work there. In 1856 Mrs.

went to Shanghae in March, where he embarked with his 
family in the N. B. Palmer, for the United States, accompanied 
by Dr. and Mrs. Kelly. He returned to Ningpo in July, 1858,

of the Presbyterian church. He graduated at Hanover College, 
Indiana, in July, 1848. About that time he was invited by 
the Board of Foreign Missions of the Presbyterian Church to 
take charge of their printing establishment at Ningpo, which, 
upon due deliberation and counsel he assented to. On the 1 st of 
January, 1849, he was married to Caroline East Crowe, daugh-

tendence of the press, he prosecuted the study of theology and 
also of the Chinese language; but had scarcely entered upon 
his duties when he was attacked with fever and chronic diarr- 
hoea, which afterwards turned to dysentery. In October, 1852, 
he sought relief by a change to Shanghae, wliere he was re- 
commended a voyage to his native land. After returning to 
Ningpo, preparatory to his embarkation for the United States,

College of St. Bees in Cumberland, where he pursued his 
theological studies; and having graduated as M. A. he was 
ordained to the ministry by the Bishop of London in 1848.

Mr. Hobson undertook the permanent duties of the chaplain- 
cy the following year. He still continued to sympathize and 
cooperate with the Chinese mission however, and was instru- 
mental in establishing a large boarding school for Chinese 
boys, in connection with the society. In 1857, he paid a 
visit with his family to his native land, where he zealously 
advocated the claims of the China mission, and returned to 
his duties at Shanghae in 1858. In April and May, 1861, 
he was temporarily absent at Hankow; and in the beginning 
of April, 1862, he again sought relaxation by a trip to Japan, 
arriving with Mrs. Hobson at Kanagawa on the 16th. On 
the 19 th he returned from an excursion to Yedo, greatly ex- 
hausted by the long ride; and the same evening embarked 
for Nagasaki. During the voyage of seven days, fever came 
on, and after landing he gradually sank till the evening of 
the 30th, when he calmly resigned his spirit to Him who gave 
it. His widow returned to Shanghae on May 12th with his 
mortal remains, which were interred in the cemetery there on 
the 13th. Mrs. Hobson embarked soon after for England, 
where she has been since residing.

China by the Church of England Missionary Society, and left 
Portsmouth in the Sir George Pollock on November 6th, 1849, 
accompanied by the Bishop of Victoria with Mrs. Smith, the 
Bev. F, F. Gough, Rev. E. T. R. Moncrieff, and Mr. R. D. 
Jackson, arriving at Hongkong, March 29th, 1850. He soon 
after paid a visit to Canton, where he spent ten days with 
Dr. Parker, and proceeding by an early opportunity, reached 
Fuh-chow in May, to initiate a branch of the English Church 
Mission. After some considerable trouble and opposition, he 
succeeded in locating himself within the city walls, where he 
opened a dispensary and hospital for the natives. Year after 
year he continued his benevolent labours in the city and sur- 
rounding country, meeting with much to dishearten, but not 
without encouragement also; till at length his health gave 
way, and he found it necess-ery to seek a change of climate. 
He went to Shanghae in the autumn of 1856, and embarked 
in the Anglo-Saxon on September 10th, in company with Dr. 
Medhurst and family, arriving at London on the 22nd o^ 
January, 1857. He died suddenly in England in 1858.

there having left for England almost immediately after, Mr. 
Moncrieff occupied his place pi^o tern. He was also appointed 
Senior Tutor in St. Paul's College at Hongkong, an institution 
for training native youth, under the control of the Bishop. He 
resigned his pastoral connection with the community about 
the end of 1851, and soon after the post of Tutor also. He 
returned to England early in 1852, where he was married, 
and afterwards went to India as a chaplain in the army. Be- 
ing there during the great mutiny, he fell a victim to Hindoo 
ferocity, and was massacred with his family at Cawnpore in

CXLVII. § Kcth. CLEVELAND KEITH, second son 
of the Rev. Reuel Keith, D. D. professor in the Episcopal 
Theological Seminary at Alexandria in Virginia, was born in 
that city on April 16th, 1827. During his early childhood 
his mother died, and he lost his stepmother, and afterwards 
his father, while yet a boy. His education was conducted 
partly in the Northern States and partly in the South, a large 
portion of his early years having been spent in the latter. 
Having studied for the ministry, he was ordained a deacon on 
July 12th, 1850; and being appointed a missionary to China, 
by the Board of Foreign Missions of the Protestant Episcopal 
Church, he was admitted into priest's orders on July 10th, 
1851. Shortly after that he sailed for China in the Oriental, 
in company with Mr. and Mrs. Nelson and Mr. Points, and 
arrived at Shanghae on December 25th, 1851. There he took 
pai't with the other members of the mission in the various du- 
ties of the station, under the guidance of Bishop Boone. On 
the 27th of April, 1854, he was married to Miss. Tenney of 
of the same mission. In Sejitember he was atts^ck^^d ^^ vi.

after several weeks, and was enabled to resume his duties. 
The continued effect of the climate however, and close appli7 
cation to their work, began to tell very severely on both, 
rendering necessary a more complete change, and they em- 
barked for the United States in the White Swallow, on the 
2l8t of January, 1857, arriving at New York on May 2nd. 
After spending two years in their native land, and having vi- 
sited several water establishments, they reembarked at New 
York in the S. H. Talbot, on May 4th, 1859, and arrived at 
Hongkong on the 31st of August, They remained there three 
weeks and then sailed for Shanghae, which they reached on 
October 19th. Besides his former duties, Mr. Keith then ad- 
ded the charge of a printing press which he had brought out 
to facilitate the printing of colloquial books in the Koman 
character. Mrs. Keith's health however soon began to break 
down again, in consequence of which Mr. Keith accompanied 
her to Kanagawa in Japan in Februaiy, 1862. They left that 
port about the end of May, and reached San Francisco on the 
27th of June, Mrs. Keith being extremely reduced. There 
they were hospitably entertained at the house of Bishop Kip, 
where Mrs. Keith died on July 11th. On the 21st, Mr. Keith 
left for Panama in tlio Grolden Gate steamer, which took fire at 
sea, and proved a lotal wreck, on the 27th, when he was 
drowned while humanely assisting some of his fellow passengers.

from Yorkshire in England, about the year 1639, and settled 
in Essex county, Massachusetts. Miss Tenney's education 
was conducted mainly at home up to lier 1 6th year; and her 
parents being Congregationalists, such were her religious as- 
sociations to that period. In the summer of 1836 she was 
sent to the Adams' Female Seminary in Deny, New Hamp- 
shire, where she completed the regular course of study, and 
received her diploma in October, 1837. On the 23rd of April 
in the following year she lost her motlier, and in the middle 
of September her father also died. In 1839, she continued 
her studies under the direction of her brother at Cambridge, 
and in September united herself to tlie Unitarian chm*ch in 
Danvers. In November, 1841, she entered upon an engage- 
ment as private teacher in a family at Charleston in South 
Carolina, which she retained for a year. Early in 1844, she 
commenced a similar engagement in a family near Charlestown 
in Jefferson county, Virginia, and terminated the same at mid- 
summer of the following year. In the spring of 1846, in conse- 
quence of a change in her religious views, she left the Unita- 
rian body, and joined the Episcopal church. In November, 
1847, she again took an engagement as private teacher at Port 
Conway, King George county, Virginia; where she remained 
till the summer of 1849, and then removed to New York; 
shortly after which she resolved to devote lier life to mission- 
ary work among the heathen. Tlie call for female agency at 
Shanghae was urgent, and Miss. Tenney was soon engaged for 
that sphere, by the Board of Foreign Missions of the Protes- 
tant Ei)iscopal Church. She left New York in the Tartar, on 
March I6th, 1850, and arrived at Hongkong on July 6th. On 
the 2nd of August she reached Shanghae, and after no very 
lengthened period was actively engaged in school work. From 
the period of her marriage with Mr. Keith, on April 2 7th, 1854, 
she zealously cooperated with him in all his engagements, and 
was affectionately tended by him in her dying moments. Her 
body was deposited in the cemetery of San Francisco on July 
12th, 1862, but was taken by ship to New York in the follow- 
ing spring, and interred in Greenwood Cemetery, where a me- 
morial marble tablet to herself and her husband, has been 
erected by their missionary board.

for America, via Shanghae, on the invitation of his Mission 
Board. 



COI. Ill ^ ^ Shan Td-p'eih, DAVID SANDEMAN, 
second son of Grias Sandeman Esqr. of Bonskied, was born at 
Perth, on April 23rd, 1826. In his infancy he was somewhat 
more sedate than children usually are; and in boyhood, was 
distinguished by perseverance, along with regularity in all his 
habits, and a strong sense of duty. At the age of 'fifteea he 
was sent to the Pestalozzian Institution at Worksop in Not- 
tinghamshire, where besides other acquirements he began to 
learn French and German. In the years 1839 and 1840, the 
ministry of Mr. Millar, then pastor of St. Leonard's church, 
Perth, and next that of Mr. Milne his successor, produced a 
considerable impression on his mind, which was deepened by 
attending the services conducted by Mr. W. C Burns during 
a season of revival. In 1842, he went to Glasgow to learn 
the mercantile business. His mind having been long turned 
towards spiritual things, it was on the 7th of April, 1844, 
that he first openly united himself with the people of God, in 
connection witli the congregation of St. Leonard's Free-church, 
Perth, under the pastorate of the Eev. Mr. Milne, and he dated 
his conversion from that period. About the end of July he 
left his parental home, and entered a mercantile establishment 
in Manchester, where he found many opportunities of shewing 
his zeal for Christ. While there a desire sprang up to enter 
the ministry, and in furtherance of that view he left for Edin- 
burgh, where he arrived on Novembei' 27th. There he began 
to attend the various classes in the Free Church college, when 
his attention was given to Latin, Greek, Natural Philosophy 
and the higher Mathematics, besides other pursuits of a less 
severe kind. He studied Logic under Sir. William Hamilton, 
Moral Philosophy under Professor McDougall, and Theology 
in all its branches under Dr. Bannerman, Dr. James Buchan- 
an and Principal Cunningham; while he pursued at the same 
time the study of Hebrew, and made progress in the cognate 
dialects, under Dr. John Duncan. During the period of his 
student life he twice enjoyed the opportunity of a short visit 
to France and Switzerland. On January 11th, 1855, he was 
licensed to preach, and his first sermon was delivered the fol- 
lowing Sunday in the church of Mr. Somerville.at Anderston, 
Glasgow. A few days afterwards his services were requested 
at Hillhead, a station about three miles from Glasgow, where 
he commenced his ministry in February. His mind however 
had been for five or six years set on China as a field of labour, 
and he bad not been quite t\iree Tcioiitk^ ^t &\\l\i^9.d, when he 
becan^e decided as to his duty legarAm^Vt. \vi^^'^\ife^%?ia.

paid a visit to the continent; from the 19th to the 26th, he 
-was in Eome; afterwards at Naples, visited Vesuvius and 
Pompeii, returned by Turin, and over Mount Cenis to Paris, 
reaching London about the middle of July. His ordination 
was delayed for a time on account of his father's death; but 
having been appointed a missionary to China, by the Foreign 
Mission Board of the Presbyterian Church in England, the 
ceremony took place at the Scotch church in Regent Square, 
London, on April 26th, 1856. He afterwards visited Birming- 
han^, Newcastle, Liverpool, Stafford and Matlock, preaching 
and exhorting at all these places. At Lowick he crossed to 
Holy Island where he preached to the fishermen; and was at 
Kilsyth on August 21st. On the 6th of September he left 
Springfield his parental home, after which we find records of 
his untiring zeal, at Edinburgh, Westfield, Hillhead and Lon- 
don wftere he arrived on the 22nd. On October Ist he was 
on a visit to Torquay, and within a day or two after left Eng- 
land for the continent, where visiting BerKn on the way, he 
proceeded thence to Marseilles. He sailed from that port on 
the 11th via Malta to Alexandria, and was at Suez on the 
21st; on November 8th he was at Point de Galle, on the 18th 
at Singapore, and on December 1st arrived at Hongkong. On 
the 6th he embarked for Swatow, where he stopped on the 
way, and reached Amoy on tfie 9th. His career there how- 
ever was a short one; for while diligently preparing for future 
usefulness, he was cut off by cholera on July 31st, 1858. His 
remains were interred in the missionary cemetery on the island 
of Koo-lang sew.

arrived at Shanghae with his sister in 1858. The failure of 
his health however, soon indicated the necessity of a change, 
and he left Shanghae on July 2nd, 1860, in in the Excel- 
sior, for a visit to Japan, in company with Mr. Wylie, re- 
turning to his station after a residence of about two months

burg, and thence proceeded to his native place near Stettin.

went to Karlsbad for a few weeks in the summer of 1862, for 
the benefit of the waters. Having returned to his parental 
residence at Bahn, he died there in the latter part of the same
